Hey all,
Bare with me some backstory. Last year I had an engine that failed but right before it did I installed a timing chain kit by coyles with the new style tensioner due to a rattle. Since the timing set was fairly new when it failed (believe head gasket) I moved all the parts over to a spare engine which has been running great for 4 months. Recently I replaced a rear main seal and NGK plugs and installed the engine. Last night while driving that same timing chain rattle came back but on this spare engine! The engine also takes about 4-5 seconds to start after priming the engine but idles completely fine. Oil pressure is 50-70psi and at full on the oil stick. What are the odds I have a faulty tensioner? Before I remove the chain and inspect I am wondering if I may be missing something.
Thanks
