was putting the new clutch on my 4.olt ready to go into the EA and when i was nipping up the pressure plate bolts the engine turned over a little bit (the head is off) and i heard a snapping noise. The cam gear had turned and pulled itself inbetween the chain tensioner and chain guide and snapped the chain guide on the l/h side of eng so now its just loose! what can i do? if i leave it it will be noisy wont it? i have the 3.9lt out of the EA still can i swap them over and if so how do i get it out?its loose but i couldnt get it out!
HELP!!!! (pretty please)

Whilst you have got the head off its a peice a piss to change the guides. Just rip off your timing cover and change all 3 of em whilst your in there. least with the head off you can easily get in to the timing cover gasket surface to get it nice and clean. Mine was a prick to get to down the RHS next to the water pump so you may want to remove it too

just remove the chain guide that is broken wont do any damage
