Rattle - timing chain?
Thanks a lot Oldblue for the link! I have some rattle issue (mine is different from the one people with bad tensioner have) and I think I will have to tackle this one. I was hesitant but this video is great! I feel confident that I can do it.

The reason why I thought it was the tensioner is the fact that the noise is not always there. It sounds like a diesel when the engine is completely up to temp but not always. For example this morning on my way to work with relatively cool temperatures the sound was there but when I left for lunch and drove for about 20 minutes on surface streets in 90F with the A/C on everything was normal. This behavior made me think that the tensioner was sticking but apparently it is something else.

Alright!
Sound has not come back yet but due to mileage I will replace the timing chain, guides and water pump.
My questions are:
The video shows the 9-4201SA kit for VVT engines but Cloyes' website does not mention that kit when I check what they have for my car. Amazon has precisely 1 available as of right now. Would that fit my 2.4?
Should I replace any of the sprockets with 145k on the engine?
Thanks for all the help!
