Here's a shot showing the CCV drain pipe.
Removed from the engine. I blew out both pipes. It was not as bad as I thought. The debris I saw was only at the very top of the larger pipe.
Main belt tensioner and alternator removed
Crank pulley put back on get to TDC. I put the transmission in neutral and pulled the plugs before turning the crank.
And this is how the cam lobes should point at TDC
Next up was removing the chain tensioner (19mm)
And the solenoid seals. I used a pick tool as seen laying in the valley in the shot below
Top covers removed
I then inspected the current chain guides, and they look to be in excellent condition
That's pretty much all I can do until my cam locking tool set gets here.
Tomorrow I'll see if I can clean the oil out of the valley and remove the cover. And also do some general cleaning of the newly exposed areas.
