Did you get to look at the crank and camshaft for wear or the engine torn apart? Did they pull the engine or drop the front sub frame? Bearings should have worn before the crank itself. Unless bad...

Don't skimp, get a nice system. Fuel will be a problem. A dedicated tank worked for me. A progressive system is nice along with tps wot activation. Clutch will be my next item.

Yeah, got to rotate 180°. The plate sandwiched between the intake and tb, extends the tb to the front of the vehicle. The actuator on the tb then hits the pulley, thus the flip, iirc.

The previous V6 engine, LLT, had the timing chain stretch issue. DI engines tend to dilute the oil with fuel. This would cause pin wear with the chain. Issue was to be corrected with the LFX. We...

As others have said, 93 octane. You have 2 tables, a "high" and "low". If the engine has bad fuel or knock, from low octane, it will drop into the low table, retarded timing. And it may stay in...

Did you ever remove the damper or pin it? I'd use a dial indicator and rotate the motor to check values. And, if you can see misalignment with the pulleys, you have a problem.
