Pretty much title says it all. I need to replace timing chain tensioner on the n62b44. Driver side it easy. Passenger side hits the side of engine compartment/Finder an cant be removed. So has anybody done this with motor in car? I thought about unbolting motor mount bolt an jacking motor up to get it out. But I don't now how much room that will give me. Im getting a rattle/knock on cold start up. Pulled valve cover off to replace gasket an inspected timing chain. An yes its lose from weak timing chain tensioner spring is weak. So I need to get this fixed before it eats the guides..
. Plz info needed ...

Moving you to the general discussion part of the forum where your problem will get more exposure.
(Don't take my comment the wrong way. I just had to razz you.)
