What is that?
Please elaborate.
I can look at the rollers I just don’t know what it looks like I’ll post a pic circle where to lookI’m not saying anything is wrong, just that it appears that the primary chain system has cogs (teeth in the chains and phaser gears that mesh with each other, whereas the secondary chain has rollers (like a bicycle or motorcycle or chain) interlock with the gears.
I haven’t had mine apart yet, but will in the near future. IMO, a cogged chain would seem to be stronger in design, hence why some people are addressing/upgrading secondary chains which are said to be the weak link.
See pics here of a guy that had a secondary chain come apart on him. The rollers simply cracked and split in half, thus creating the pile of pieces in the top pic.
The primary and secondary chains are different as you mentioned.I’m not saying anything is wrong, just that it appears that the primary chain system has cogs (teeth in the chains and phaser gears that mesh with each other, whereas the secondary chain has rollers (like a bicycle or motorcycle or chain) interlock with the gears.

Awesome I’ll definitely take a look at themI marked your picture with green lines on some of the rollers. You woukd want to rotate the chain and look for cracks or missing pieces from the individual rollers.
I would think that missing or broken rollers would create both noise and extra slack in the chains. Not sure whether this could somehow transfer to or cause problems in other areas of the timing system, but the photos that I uncovered were enough to help me make up my mind that I will be upgrading my secondary chains to an HD design.
I’m studying and learning myself, as I get ready to dial up more power from my car, so I’ve been searching high/low for potential weak links that I might need to upgrade when I disassemble the timing system. I’m very glad that I found those pics.
I run gt350 primary chains and Accufab secondaries with MMR flip bracket. The secondaries are said to be an upgrade over stock, but look similar to oem.
The slack in the secondary chain on Bank 2 appears when engine is running. Both exhaust cams are driven by the crank, exhaust cams drive the intake cams. On bank 1, the secondary tensioner acts on the slack side of chain. On bank 2, the secondary tensioner acts on the tension side of chain. The flip bracket allows the bank 2 secondary tensioner to act on the slack side.
Is this my issue on the passenger side(side of my noise) the exhaust cam isn’t moving with the intake but on the driver side everything moves together can this be my issue?!I’m not saying anything is wrong, just that it appears that the primary chain system has cogs (teeth in the chains and phaser gears that mesh with each other, whereas the secondary chain has rollers (like a bicycle or motorcycle or chain) interlock with the gears.

Look at my recent chat
Def looks like there is an issue with that bank 1 exhaust cam phaser. Have a look at this vid from AED.
