I looked through quite a few builds but I was unable to find a picture I'm looking for. I just need one that shows the timing chain setup without the upper left timing cover. I really just wanted to see what the hydraulic piece that pushes on teh slack side tensioner mounts to.

Thanks Mettler...I've got the FSM but I just can't tell where this is supposed to bolt on. The part is shown in the FSM but it doesn't show where it bolts onto. I'm trying to figure out which program I need to circle the part on my Mac. Used to being able to use Paint in Windows!

It's the hydraulic piece on the driver's slack side tensioner. Should bolt on somewhere around the water pump. I might be missing this piece which doesn't make things easier.

If I recall, the drivers side tensioner actually bolts into the timing chain front cover. The pass side bolts under the cover and then you put the front cover on and the drivers bolts in through it.

I think...

That makes perfect sense...no wonder it includes a gasket with it.

Thanks !
