How does one address P0014 (DTC 104) & P0011 (DTC 103) ?
Broken guide bits will end up in the oil pan. They won't melt or get through the oil filter so they aren't a high risk of a problem.

Yes. That makeshift tensioner I hacked together is just a tool for adjusting the timing. I have full tensioner kit with the piston and spring for permanent assembly. :-)
Cool. Thanks. This evening I was contemplating taking the timing chain cover off and replacing those chain guides too. But, I think I need a special tool to get the crankshaft pulley off. So I am not gonna do that, just gonna toss the thing when those decide to go. :-)

Just need a shit ton of torque to remove crank bolt. I use my M18 impact when I can take off the radiator or makeshift a holding bar if can't. I think oreily might free rent the holding bar.
If your chain guides are blown you need to replace. That said one guy on xo was able to squeeze the guides in either M62 or N62 from the bottom through the oil pan opening so I would also look into that possibility.

The lower chain guides haven't been an issue so far. I just thought I should do this while I am this far into it. But I am gonna leave them alone. I inspected with the endoscope and could not see anything wrong. I gotta get this car inspected and back on the road so I can start taking down the manual transmission again on my daily (not a BMW) :-)

So just to close the loop on this thread. Those two codes were indeed caused by a timing issue. So, doing the timing addressed the two codes and made the check engine light go away. The repair process is NOT that complicated. Some people make it out to be difficult and scary, but it isn't. You just need the process, the correct tools and patience. The car drives quite nicely. Thanks all for your help.

It's a little overwhelming when you look at the total project but somebody asked me out of the blue to do the procedure the closest I've ever done was to help change lifters on a under head cam engine. So lots more work. But; one piece at a time it's totally manageable. I recommend somebody double check your work before putting the valve covers back on. Great job nice follow up
