My timing chain is loose on one side and tight on the other, I am posting this in two threads because I need an answer quick! Is this normal or not?!

Here are 2 pics and a vid:

your tensioner is most likely bad.
And it seems that your guide is missing

 

Hey. i just did the guide removal and mine too is JUST like that.

AND, my motor is STILL making the damn noise even though both the upper AND lower left(upper) guides are removed.

GRRRR. SO pissed.

anyone else?

 

oohhh. but mines the dual cam

 

I just replaced mine last week, and mine didn't have that much slack I had about half as much as you do, it's an easy fix if you know what you are doing.
