Got a borescope and was able to look at the piston. See pictures below: <blockquote class="imgur-embed-pub" lang="en" data-id="a/HeIPOf5" data-context="false" ><a href="//imgur.com/a/HeIPOf5"></a></blockquote><script async src="//s.imgur.com/min/embed.js" charset="utf-8"></script> There does...

Just grabbed a Depstech borscope off amazon, thanks.. Nothing really stood out the could've caused it to skip time. There was a leak from the Crankshaft seal. Hopefully it's only a bent valve, guess I should start looking around for another 2uz just in case.

Got a compression tester. No compression on the 8th cylinder. Looks like damaged valves from timing jump. What are my options at this point? Can I replace the Valve?

**Update** Got the timing belt on and everything put together. The Engine started, however it has a very ticking noise. Video of ticking noise: YouTube 3 DTCs now appear: P0300 P0304 P0308. Swapped the Coil Packs and Spark plugs from working cylinder to non working, nothing changed...

Thank you, saved me a trip to pickup a seal puller. Ordered new seals.

**Update** Finally got the Harmonic Balancer off. See album below. <blockquote class="imgur-embed-pub" lang="en" data-id="a/2XNTnJo"><a href="//imgur.com/a/2XNTnJo"></a></blockquote><script async src="//s.imgur.com/min/embed.js" charset="utf-8"></script> What I Noticed Lots of residue below...

Thank you for the info. Need to weld up a tool remove the harmonic balancer. Just got on rock auto and order a new Tbelt, Tensioner, and pulleys. Thanks again.

Correct, at this point I just need to know what to do to fix the timing. Can I lesson the tension and adjust the right Cam to line up?

**Update** Got everything taken apart today. It looks like the timing did jump see pictures: <blockquote class="imgur-embed-pub" lang="en" data-id="a/n7Wn9NP" data-context="false" ><a href="//imgur.com/a/n7Wn9NP"></a></blockquote><script async src="//s.imgur.com/min/embed.js"...

Thank you. I'll be sure to change the oil. How would I go about checking the timing? If it is off, how would I adjust?

Thank you for these. I'm thinking it's either the timing is off or the Cam sensor is bad/wiring has frayed. Going to take it apart tomorrow. While I'm at it might as well replace the coolant. Anything else I should do while down there?

1. Is the fuel tank empty? About 1/4 tank left, confirmed when replacing fuel pump. 2. Is the battery discharged? Replaced with new battery. 3. Are the battery terminal connections loose or corroded? Sanded the terminals to be sure, looks good here. 4. Is fuel reaching the fuel injectors (i.e...

That's a good thought, thank you. I think I'll buy a compression tester. If it has correct compression then I'll tear it down and check the timing marks. I wonder what could cause the timing belt to slip, belt was changed less than 2 years/20k miles ago.

Just picked up a new to me 2006 v8 limited with 158k miles. Everything was working fine until I was driving on the highway and lost power, towed home. Symptoms: Engine turns over, however it will not fire. Engine started once when I got it home, immediately died and has not started since. No...

Nice! Now starts the pleasure of maintenance.
