Does anyone else get a rattle on start up with there FK8. Doesn’t do it every time but sounds like lifters or timing chain tensioner
Have heard from someone who had this issue; Added a tiny touch of oil ~200ml and was problem solved.
I’m wondering if it is normal. I haven’t had a car with a timing chain for a few years and wondering if it’s the chain rattling slightly until the tensioner fills up with oil, that is if the tensioner is hydraulic. alternativly hydraulic valve lifters but not sure if we have them either. Doesn’t sound like bearings.It doesn’t matter what the temperature is, although it does sound worse when cold, but they all rattle on start up. It sounds worse when it’s been stood for a few days too, but most engines do that for a second or two
