3.2 timing chain issues -2005

[AudiNike12]

Well, right now it's very tight. After the cams slammed forward. I can't be sure it sits correct on the lower gear though. When I first removed the tensioner pin when I installed everything, it was a bit of slack down by the tensioner, not much. Up top, I couldn't move it much. A little. Have to check that again, can't remember exactly. Right now the car is outside

Do you think there could be anything wrong with the cam phasers?

I will be honest, in all the 3.2 I have worked on I've never had to disassemble nor replace the cam phasers, even at >200k miles. *If* there could have been damage from valvetrain damage due to piston-valve contact? I am not sure, but based on other phasers I have seen disassembled it seems unlikely. Furthermore, the amount of rotation you mentioned (60-70 degrees) makes this seem even more unlikely to me, it should not be possible for a phaser to rotate that far and if it could it seems that you would be able to rotated it by hand, i.e. the damage would be very obvious?
