firstly woud like to say hi guys & gals.
I am after your much valued experiance and knowlage on the Ep3 (k20 a2engine)
my car is now on 96k .
it developped a rattel knock from the timing chain and tensioner.
so i got it into my garage and replaced theese items
The old chain had streched and the tensioner had gone. the timing was out by about 4 teeth.
so i re timed the car and put it all back together.
The car now ticks over fine , a little rattle here and there but nothing untoward. however soon as there is loas on the engine now the rattle gets alot louder and there becomes a knock . to listen to is tounds like its coming from the chain area but also sounds lower down bottm end
has anyone got any advise or help for me . i love this car but aint goin to spend big bucks on it as its my second car
Help !! your help is really aprechiated.
i did not change the guides when done chain too ?? dont know if that will make a differnce !
Thanks again in advance guys
