Hi gang,

I'm just about ready to dive in and change my secondary tensioners, and I've been reading just about every post I can find. Simonnallen has a great step by step procedure, https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/s...ford+tensioner, but I'm confused by step 5:

I'm quite a novice as a mechanic and I have no idea where the exhaust cam caps are. It my be obvious once I open it up but I'd like to have a good feeling about it before I get going. Can anyone describe this or, better yet, have a picture where you could point it out?

 

They are looking right at you! They are the semicircular caps holding the exhaust cam to the block. The exhaust cam as opposed to the inlet cam, is the one you want to displace.

 

Attached is another writeup:

In this one, this is the key word is lower.
"- Loosen the (lower) exhaust cam bolts – do each a few turns at a time, to release tension on the cam slowly and evenly."

It is the lower cam on each side, always the one closest to where you are standing.

In the photo attached, it is the cam at the bottom right of the picture.

 

I knew you guys would come through. Thanks!
