05 ram 4.7 has very loud noise coming from the timing. I have replaced all chains, guides, and tensioners. It snapped the bolt on the passenger side head that holds the tensioner arm on. Got a bolt and reset everything cause the chain fell off but luckily nothing was damaged and the truck runs great again but this noise is driving me crazy. I know it is from the passenger side chains/ tensioner cause I can remove the oil fill and crank it up and reach my finger in there just enough to get ahold of the tensioner arm and push up on it and the sound backs off but as soon as I let go it comes back. I back feel the arm just bouncing around d in there any ideas what it is. I'm thinking maybe I just got a bad tensioner. But any other thoughts would b helpful.
