ka24e ticking

[nathanmoris]

Hey i just replace my timing chain and now the engine has a ticking noise under the valve cover, is where it seems to be coming from. It didnt tick like that before the chain broke what does this mean. Thanks for any help Jon

When you reinstalled the timing cover, did you use two new O-rings for the oil passages? If not, the oil pressure may be very low causing the hydraulic lifters not to work correctly.
