*** KA24DE RATTLE NOISE! WHAT CAN IT BE ***

[scottyvEE3]

if you look at the first video, this is what my car sounds like when i turn it on. and sometimes it takes awhile to turn on i just keep craknking it. the second video thats how it sounded before the car actually stopped trying to move.

can someone tell me what the problem might be? or has anyone ever experienced this noise before. NOTE a week before this noise started happening my upper timing chain guard cracked.

i dont think the previous owner before me has done a oil change after a year of the car sitting in his driveway. when i first took off my valve cover to remove the cracked upper timing chain this is what it looks like..

im willing to bet that one of your timing chain guides is broken and the broken peices is somewhere rubbing against the chain, that or your tensioner is shot. and go buy a can of seafoam please your engine=filthy

your top chain guard broke off, you can see it in the 3rd pic. It's down somewhere rubbin against the chain which is all the shavings you see.

haha yea my engine is filthy, and the upper timing chain guard cracked off but i took it out already, so it can prolly be the tensioner. or ppl are saying maybe a bent rod hitting something

nah i bought the car like that not knowing, cause the previous owner told me he was always on top of his oil changes but i guess he was lieing just to sell the car. cuz at the time when i went to go look at it it was fine and i didnt have any tools cuz he was far.. but yea. im not a PRO TUNER, this will be my first actually project car i plan on learning, and ****ing with
