well, on top of the tensioner, the skunk2 cam gear ate the dust also. . the dowl pin on the cam hollowed it out so it would rock back and forth 1 tooth. and yes, it was torqued down to 53 foot lbs. the intake was set at 83 and is ok....

i have to check the cam though bc the dowel pin may be damaged- the cam gear is skunk2 stage 1 also. this could have been what caused the tensioner to crap out. welcome to my luck
