Weird noise while running......
Hey everyone, I have a 96 Sentra GXE 5-speed with 139k on the clock. When this car is idling, it basically runs like a "singer sowing machine", in which i have a ticking noise. Well the other day I changed the oil and filter, as well as the valve cover gasket. I seen the timing chain and I pulled up on it and it had some slack in it...is this slack normal? Are timing chains and tensioners known parts to replace on these cars like the Cavaliers with the 2.2 engine? Is there anything else that would make this engine run like that? It runs good and has excellent torque.
ANY help and advice would be greatly appreciated; I dont want something to break and I end up having to put another engine in it.
