so first at the beginning the car had a timing chain failure . lucky me because there was no valve bend and the sprocket was good too. but the tensioner was bad so i change it for an original one from the dealer $$$. to make it short when everything was done i test the engine so i start it everything was good . no more code of timing no sound nothing it was perfect i close the engine and was happy . i test again and the engine was making a noise from the chain so i stop the engine and look the chain on the side of the tensioner it is loose (where is pushing the chain like if there no oil to keep it out pushing ) still no have timing chaine code .

what i was thinking is maybe the oil pressure is not good. so i take off the 2 valve cover and start again, the side that working good there a lot of oil going out but where the sound is a lot lot less oil coming out...

now i remove the oil pan to look if there sludge and yes it not clean at all but i dont know if it gone be enough to clean it and i dont know if that the problem , today i am gona clean and make a diesel clean of the engine after juste to make sure. hope it gonna work do you guy have an ideal of what it could be ?
