I’m new to the 22re and am trying to figure out an occasional timing chain rattle. Everything Ive been able to find about replacement is when it rattles at idle. I take that to mean all the time at idle which I am currently not experiencing.
My situation:
I get a very occasional 5-10 second rattle at start up. I fired up the truck 8 or so times yesterday and it did it on one of those start ups only. Is it the beginning of the full time idle rattle or something else? I have read that OEM Oil filters don‘t always hold the oil like they should. Maybe thats a possibility. I have yet to pull the valve cover and look at the guides but in this “occasionally happening” situation I don‘t know that I will be able to see anything.
The engine supposedly has 50k on it but I have no idea what that means and neither does the PO or the PO before him.
Any insight is appreciated.
