Okay......
Intake adjustable cam sprocket was seized/locked up on retarded position as mentioned earlier 1st post code pulled. Not sure how that happened as these things are just spring loaded. I opened it up and everything looks to be nothing out of the ordinary. Removing the central bolt to the cam sprocket on the intake was a lot harder than the exhaust for being torque down 30nm+90 degree.
Ordered 4 new ones to change both bank.

Further inspection, chain guides were broken ahhhh!! This was only on 1 bank. Haven’t have time to open the other yet.

Question for Mr.Rednex:
Do you think I’m able to remove the timing cover without removing the head? I was searching and saw a picture of a shop doing a timing chain job with the head still intact. I guess just sliding the cover out?
