I have a 98 Exp Sport that I am begining to modify. In the front of the engine I hear a rattle. I have been working on older engines for a long time but this type of engine is new to me. It doesn't sound like a valve tap and I have eliminated all of the accessories (i.e. alternator, idler pulley, etc.). I was wondering if it might be the timing chain tensioner. I have herd this noise on lots of other explorers so odds are someone knows the noise I am talikng about. It's driving me nuts, please help me.
