s14SR timing chain problem

[slammedS14]

hey guys i have a big problem with my timing chain. at least im sure its the timing chain. its hitting on the inside of the motor as u can see in the picture. i cirlced where its scraping cus when its running its very loud and i can hear it knocking and hitting against the sides. the chain is very nice and tight it is not loose so i dont think that it strectched out. any help would be great because im out a car right now. need to figure this out.

[slammedS14]

yeah pretty tough to tell where it's rubbing at that angle. I'm assuming it's where the chain is coming right off of the guide and it hits the head?

[slammedS14]

ok well heres some more pictures. please guys i need all the help i can get im so confused how this could happen if everything is nice and tight.

[slammedS14]

heres another angle if it helps at all.

When can you hear it? All the time, only on cold start up. Im having the same problem w/ one of my SR's. Let me know in more detail b/c Im talking to some people about this.

If the chain is thight and there is no play i dont see how it could be the chain. Unless your tensioner is bad. Did u recently uninstall the tensioner??? There are some O rings on it that need to be replaced.

Have you checked the guides to see if taht is the problem???
