I drive an SR swapped S13 coupe, and it's started the famous TC rattle... I removed the upper guide, and it quieted it a little, but didnt go away... I tried an extra tensioner my buddy had, and its still there... So, I believe my chain is stretched a little... My question is do you think I can try one of the revised tensioners from 95 and newer model SR's to help quite it down? they are a good 1/3" longer from what I've read and have the better teeth... I'd rather try this before yankin' it to do a whole timing chain set job!

Anyone? Anyone with an S13 motor that swapped out only the upgraded newer tensioner and it worked good at eliminating chain slap?
