Re: Question about Chain Rattle
I should clarify something... this 'rattle' ONLY occurs right a start up and shut down...not continuous nor during running.. With the new oil & filter it is now bearly noticeable which means (1) my initial shock at hearing is now a non- shock routine (2) due to being driven more the rattle is lessening or (3) I am going deaf

Re: Question about Chain Rattle
Has anyone tried a pre-luber? It has a bladder with gas under pressure. Turn the key, the valve opens and oil pressure comes up before you start it. Much cheaper then trying to find and install new tensioners!

Re: Question about Chain Rattle
To borrow from Hadi, chain rattle is just the opening and closing cymbol roll of the LT5 symphony. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy the power of the entire musical piece.

Re: Question about Chain Rattle
So....
 I take it no one knows the answer to the question? Hasn't anyone changed out a tensioner or two and noticed one way or another and noticed that the rattle was either gone or still there. Hans

 Adding a accusump is a nice feature, ingest some pressurized oil into the motor before start up. Especially for the guys who store their cars for months. They come in different sizes and the 3 quart accusump bottle is not that large. |
