Default Re: SOHC Timing Chain Rattle -> Catastrophic Failure?

you'll be fine, what actually happens is the guides break and it allows the chain to "flap" around a little more and make some noise.. long term issues? none as of yet.. it all depends on how long you can handle the sound.

mine's been at it for the last 5k miles.
