7000k? so your car revs to 7000000 rpms? wow, where do i get that motor? lol j/k

[S14Zilvia]

I've got the rattle at idle. 80k miles.

Does the rattling seem to be coming from the oil cap or number 1 spark plug wire? I noticed the same problem on my S14 today while I was changing the air filter.

It sounded like a repetitive *click click click* noise.

[UncleBen]

well, the clicking might be your fuel injectors. the timing chain is an actual rattle, as if something is hitting the valve cover. thats what i sounds like kinda. from the front of the motor.

[a&a auto]

it cost 420 and does it at idle

[Holisticbeatz]

Could somebody record what it sounds like and upload it to me?

[KarmaPolice]

My only rattle was my exhaust heat shield. Was my only rattle

[yellow_jacket]

Did you replace all of the chain guides and tensioners?

[a&a auto]

yea i got the chain, tensioner, guide ,sprockets

[a&a auto]

this sucks i was planning on starting my turbo project this friday and i was planning on going to hot import nites in philly this saturday but i dont want to drive it like this and i dont want to tie up my money for turbo stuff

[574-240sx]

1dollar240, sorry i ment rpms. nick

[574-240sx]

i have 174K on my car and paid $270 for the whole timing chain kit and put it in. I don't care if it rattles a little once in a while. I had a small crack on my timing cover and i just put rtv on in for now. nick

[yellow_jacket]

Are you sure it's not valve noise?

574-240sx: I've got a front cover just sitting in my garage if you wanna make me an offer. I would let it go cheap!

[a&a auto]

im not sure i just checked the oil pressure it was a tad low so i just installed anew oil pump still rattles

[a&a auto]

im goin crazy with this rattle i mean i could care less about a litle noise but i dont want to try to turbo this thing if its just gonna die on me it has 120000 on it and it runs real strong and very smooth but at idle i has this rattle and it seems to go away at higher rpm

[a&a auto]

should i worry or just do it

[574-240sx]

a&a auto- i think you should just throw a turbo on it as long as it doesn't smoke you should be fine as long as you are not running high boost. whats the worst that could happen, blow your engine. $300 gets you a new engine. nick

makes sence

If you are having a problem with low oil pressure then it is fairly likely that the mains are going. Of course this will make the valves tick a little and may cause the chain to rattle a little.

when i had my 95 with 125000 on it, it had the rattle, but it was the tensioner. and now i got my 96' and when i hit about 121000 on it the same rattle started. my dad told me that every ka24 hes ever worked on around or over 120000mi has had the problem, its just a nissan defect or something.
