Lol that's a very familiar sight heads off on the CL.
I know you guys tied the chain to the cam gears but did you remove the alternator to get to the chain tensioner? Don't force it back on without losening the tensioner...

Great day, just cleaned up enough to be able to post! I have 26K on this engine build and was suprised at the carbon build up from running to rich. Here is before and after cleaning. Pistons shine, as they are Forged pistons!
Carbon came off real easy and did hold us up an extra housr to clean it off right.
Here are are after cleaning.
Old heads.
My wife pitched in to show us how to get the alternator clear and help with cam sprokets.
Getting her final engine inpsection , before she pilots the CL down the mile.
I want to thank My wife, Shardul, Scott and J house for all the help today. Always fun to pull resources, get together and do a major engine job in your own garage.
Every part is labeled in zip lock bags and or small plastic continers.
Couple tools were hard to Find and also slowed us some. 45 socket to get oil filter assembly off, required a 3/4 drive. Quick phone call and that showed up. 26mm was short and a torque socket for cams, was also missing.
Putting new powder coated valve covers on and evosport rotors too. All take extra time.
Heads will go on at bright and early central time. I need to match fit my 82mm adaptor plate to my blower inlet, so will have to pull inlet off to fix this part.

He is probably referring to the last dyno the car did, not one that was just done recently. On another note, I can't wait to hear your impressions on the meth injection when you get it installed since we have nearly identical mods, dynoed power and live in the same type of climate.
