New Timing Chain, still Startup rattle
#21
On lunch brake...
I'm fairly sure that I don't have a bolt thats too long in the oil pump, I believe that if a bolt was contacting the tensioner, it most likely couldn't move, and its obvious this one is, as it gets quiet after oil pressure comes up.
And I am sure the chain is contacting the cover, at the bottom, to the passanger side, and slightly below the crankshaft.
Its almost like the chain is so loose that until the tensioner engages, it is trying to climb the crank gear.
I will post a picture when I get home. I'm also going to pick up a factory tensioner.
Thanks,
Smish
