Default How do I check VVT

I open up the oil cap to check the chain slack like everyone else but I have a plastic thing blocking it...

You should be able to feel around that.

Sorry for your significant other.


I felt my chain that way and it was loose. Bought all the stuff and went to change it out. Once I took everything apart, it all looked fine. So I boxed everything back up and it's going into my forged build. Put all my old stuff back on aside from new friction washers and crank bolt. Been running fine. That was 4-5 months ago.

What I found was, as the cams turn, the valve springs load them up differently through the rotations. Your chain will feel loose if the cams are being pushed towards each other at the top. A little turn of the crank and the chain might feel tight as fuck.

Long story short, you can't just check tension at one spot. Turn the crank a little, check again. Turn the crank a little more, check again.

That and you’re not supposed to check it on a completely cold engine. Needs to be warm but not hot.
