Did you reuse that cam bolt? If so, yes, it's backed out and that sound is your rotor hitting the inside of the cap. The cam bolt is a one-use torque-to-yield bolt.

Also check your quarter window seals. These dry out, take a set and then leak. I'll bet you find that even after you've got your battery box patched you still get water back there.

May I refer you to John's pic above? Post #4. Sleeve should sit almost flush with seal.

Have you torqued up that caliper? If not, torque it up and see if it moves. Sometimes they can sit cocked before the mounting bolts are tight.

Agree about loading the caliper before installing it.

^ Good write-up. But removing the door panel and then the anti-theft panel take all of 15 minutes and make life so much easier.

You've circled the upper and lower balance shafts themselves, not tensioners, as Doug noted. They should both spin freely.

That sucking sound you describe is the O-ring in the ICV failing to seal. Quick test: spray carb cleaner at/on the ICV at idle; if your idle goes up, there's your vac leak. That O-ring can be...

How's your signal at DME pins 26 and 27 while cranking? And what happens if you ground your tester to chassis instead of DME ground pins?
