I have a favor to ask.....I am starting to think that the timing chain tensioner (7) and guide rail (5) are worn out or on their way. There is also a upper tensioner (2) in the right picture. Now when i put my hand on the front black part of the engine not where the oil top is but down basically right above the chain on the valve cover when i have someone rev the engine slowly building rpms i can feel the chain to what feels like its hitting the valve cover but i would like to know if any one who has experiance with this can pitch in and for those that dont have any sounds would mind feeling the valve cover and see if you feel the same thing. THANKS!!!
