Hi guys,
When I got the car a few years back there was a rattle that lasted 1-2 seconds on startup and then went away and was fine until the next morning, so last year I changed the cam chain, tensioner, tensioner gasket and half moon for a Gates kit, the same rattle has been present since, sometimes I start it up and it doesnt do it, sometimes does it for like 1 second and then sometimes does it for 2-3 seconds, never longer than that but changing things didnt help it. So today I removed the oil filter housing and replaced the anti drain back valve which stops the head and tensioner from emptying of oil overnight (supposedly) so I'm hoping tomorrow morning startup is quiet.
anybody had any problem like this even after changing the tensioner? have I maybe got a duff Gates tensioner as a replacement?
