I notice in those instructions they do not remove the tensioner for bank 4-6 (under the a/c compressor?)
I also watched this (similar age engine) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRmB53bALf8 and he does not remove this third tensioner either.
I take from that it it not necessary to remove this. But I can't understand why.....surely that tension would cause the ims to be pulled over to that side?
The two tensioners being removed both operate on chains at the end of the IMS where the bearing is fitted. The third one which isn't removed operates at the other end of the IMS so will not exert anything like the force at this end.
I have the workshop manuals for this engine, PM me if you are interested.
