Setting the timing on an 04 gt, before taking off the chains I set to tdc and marked chain at cam mark and the 6:00 mark on the crank. My chains had no visible links to differentiate but after the chains came off the 2 marks lined up at opposite ends so I felt confident in that.
I also marked the position of the camshafts with the cam cluster caps for extra security. After resetting the timing, the camshaft to cluster marks lined up and also the crank and cam/chain marks lined up.
After double and triple checking the marks I spun it by hand about 10 rotations to check for binding and everything went smooth however the passenger side tensioner seems to jump at a certain point giving the chain some slack and then tightening back up as it continues.
Is this normal for only one tensioner or is there and underlying issue with either that or the timing? I included a video to explain better
