But P0011 is more likely to be a by product of the bad VVT valves. A quick look at the chain won't hurt anything.

That’s why I suggest it, easier to see the chain and the front guide , confirm if there’s a problem or not, if not put the valve cover back on.

Order one of these front guide upper replacement bolts.

This was enough slack to trigger P0014 in my 2011 2.4

Im just double checking that I can use the Cloyes kit and do not have to buy ACDelco for this part. I keep seeing all the ACDelco only posts so I just wanted to make sure. Thank you

I just purchased the Cloyes 94201SAWP kit. Purchased through RockAuto with discount.
It comes with both chains, balance shaft sprockets, crankshaft sprockets,guides and the water pump. $175.00
Don't forget the melling guide bolt.

Cloyes makes ACDelco.

Yes the Cloyes kits are preferred, available in different kits some with cam sprockets some without, depending on your engine and as mentioned with a water pump. We like to advise changing the water pump while the engine is apart for convenience, you’re gonna have dirty hands anyway, might as well do that now!

Thank you all so much!
