I'll change it soon and pour in more Mobile One. It's cheap insurance. I have used nothing but Mobile One for over 15 years in everything including my lawn mowers. Take it back to the installer and go on record with him about the noise. If it breaks, then you will have that to fall back on. Re: Timing chain guide...

[Re: RichK] #498080 09/05/04 10:22 PM Anonymous Unregistered Sounds like you bought a darned good warranty(without me reading the tiny print) Don't twist any wrenches on it and invalidate that warranty. Take it back to installer and play dumb. Complain about the noise. If the installer blows you off, send certified letter to engine maker. That will serve as your record of complaint for later if you need it. Be polite, but insistant. Keep your ducky's all in a row. Re: Timing chain guide... [Re: RichK] #498081 09/05/04 11:05 PM Anonymous Unregistered Quote I just pulled off the cover and I believe the timing chain guides are still intact. Seeing that they are intact...what else could be making that noise? It is identical to the noise I heard when I was missing the guides on my old engine... Thanks, Rich did you take that pic? if so all i see is the top part of the guide i see no guide between the chain and the cover mine looked just like that the only part of the guide left was the top and my cover was about 1-8th chewed.Just my 2cents i just did mine took 8 hours mostly takeing the power steering pump and alt off and back on (pain in the A$$) probly 1 hour off and three to put it back on Any way good luck Sil <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> Re: Timing chain guide... #498082 09/05/04 11:10 PM Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 35 RichK OP Getting the Wheeling Fever Yep, took that picture this morning...there didn't seem to be anything missing... Checking the timing...it's fine. Changed the oil, new filter...still makes noise. Guess I'll have to take it back to those a**es...and dig through my paperwork to find the "invoice" showing that I still have four months left on the labor warranty. Rich P.S. My warranty was 1 year labor, 3 years parts (unlim miles)...

KY HawkFanatic Wheeler I have the same noise in my truck. Under load up hill, especially in a higher gear where the rpms are lower... I replaced the timing chain, and guides about 20K ago, and now it sound sorta the same as it did( but not as bad because the guides were completely gone then) 1994 Yota 4x4 Short cab 5spd 22RE Mostly Stock, but I'm learnin'! 31x10.50s Post deleted by little_joe [Re: HawkFanatic] #498085 09/08/04 11:29 PM Anonymous Unregistered Re: Timing chain guide... #498086 09/09/04 02:33 AM Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 1,856 Penticton BC CJM Body Damage is Cool make sure the propper bolt is in the top oil pump (as pictured ) the hole from the inside .... wrong bolt if you have the wrong bolt installed in this place , it will hinder the movement of the tensioner . 86 4x4 , fiberglass bed , 1/2 doors , hood, etc.. 84 Custom 2WD 400HP supra suspension , full frame 83 Trekker SR5 NEW Trekker forum Re: Timing chain guide... [Re: RichK] #498087 09/09/04 04:29 PM Anonymous Unregistered Did you reach down in there and see if the guide moved at all? Mine looked just like yours, but I could move it left to right and it would slap against the TC cover and make the noise I was hearing. Turns out the top bolt loop for the guide was broken, but other than that the guide was still intact. Just something to think about.
