Clicking from front of engine...

[95s14drifter]

Hello all, my first post so be gentle. Okay my KA powered '95 S14 which is damn near stock (i just got it) has 125 000kms. I'm hearing a clicking noise from the front... i took a stethescope to it and it's right up front so not valve noise. Anyone had this same problem? I'm just wondering before i pull the valve cover, hunt around and disable my car. I'm guessing maybe the chain developed some slack (but at 125 000kms?!?!?). Could I have a worn distrubutor gear? I also looked for TSB's and came up with nothing. Any input would be great. Thanks.

Oh ya and 125 000kms is close to 75 000 mi

i have 115 km and same problem its proabably the timing chain

after abusing it at high rpms it started happening around 110

i say its the timing chain rattle. remove the upper tensioner
