Correct. Don't ask me WTF they were thinking! Drivers side bank is the front, running off the crank, passenger side is the back, using a jack shaft. I think the back chain and tensioner/guides are okay but if the front tensioner disintegrated I imagine the rear isn't far behind. I don't want to do another timing chain. I am debating doing the rear main seal as well, to be safe.
