bad timing chain tensioner cause ticking noise?
was told i had a possible bad timing chain tensioner. heres the deal, when car is started up cold very noticeable ticking until warms up and idles at 1k or 900. also when driving above 1800 rpm ticking comes back, seems like faster with higher rpms. any1 know what the hours is on tthat job?

the chain tensioner doesnt make any noises and doesnt even touch the timing chain. Its just there to hold up the chain guides that put tension on the chains. Sounds like some other issue your having....

it's entirely probable that you have a sticky lash adjuster. Try running a quart of ATF in your oil for a few minutes before your next oil change. That may loosen up the crud. That ticking can come from a lot of places.

don't run it for days or nothin... just a few minutes at idle right before the change. I'm sure there's a few others on the board old enough to have used the procedure before. I've done it hundreds of times.
Don't overfill your oil... drain a quart first if your oil isn't low.
