that was what I thought about the hydraulic compensators, I looked at them and did not see any adjustment points, however since one other poster mentioned it I figured it would be a worthy question to address. I have one oiler fitting with a hairline crack, nowever I observed my right bank (through the oil filler cap) oiling as it is suppose to, Im gonna replace them anyways, afterall im already in there.

Thanks for the write up, Ive read the posted one in the DIY section, however the more reading the better. It is always valuable to hear someone's little tricks and issues they have encountered while doing a job like this.

Wbain-what did you do to correct that timing discrepency on the cam? Did you just move the chain foward a tooth?
