s13 blacktop
went from 3rd to 2nd instead of 4th. gave it gas and for a sec, maybe two, there I noticed it rev'd up too fast and let go. went home drove normal, nothing over 3.5k rpms noticed a rattle when you give it gas but none on idle. I went under the hood and open the trottle to rev it and noticed its from front of engine. Timing chain? safe to drive now? Did I really f*ck up and should I look forward to major engine work or is this a minor work to be done?
money shift now there's rattling

If you think its in the head then pull the valve cover and check it out.
Re: (CSUPUEBLOTIM)
is that it? thanks, I'll try that this weekend. I'm hoping the tensioner is just loose. Anyone know a link to a good timing belt DIY write up? I hope I don't have to go as far as replacing it.CSUPUEBLOTIM wrote:If you think its in the head then pull the valve cover and check it out.

Do a compression check. Turn the crank with a wrench, if there's play in the rod bearings you'll feel a thunk in the wrench. Pull the valve cover and check for anything out of sorts. Drain the oil and look for any bits that made it down there.
