I see posts here all the time saying that a timing belt tensioner sounds like a rod knock, do a search for more information. I just did a 3 hour search 200 per page, I did not find a post that describes a timing belt tensioner knock.
So, what does it really sound like? How loud is it? Is it loud on a 3.2 DOHC engine?
