Hey guys, i need help identify the engine side of this m272 engine. Which side is left and which is right. Thanks

What codes are stored to support the replacement of the camshaft adjusters?

That does not mean it is the cam adjusters. It could be a lifter noise or something else. Try an oil and filter change.

If that doesn't do the trick, you must remove the valve cover and investigate.
