I know this has been discussed...

Ok when I start my 01 4.4 you can hear chain chatter, or at least I think that is what I am hearing (while in the cab) how can I stop this? Thicker oil? M1 5-30 currently. Any suggestions? 124k miles. Thanks for any help.

replacing the timing chain tensioner may help a little bit. fairly cheap and you can do absolutely no harm by replacing it.

It sounds like your chain guides in your vanos. Thats what I've read about it. you may want to do a search on chain guides.

I don't think that is the issue, it is because there is no oil on the chain when first cranked....how does that get fixed? Thicker oil? Only when the car sits for a day or longer.
