So I had the rattle a couple of days ago, got a tow home as the last time I hsd it I just carried on driving and ended up smashing the engine. I ordered new tensioners and the timing kit in anticipation (which I will keep in case as engine is ~200,000 miles). 8 hours' deconstruction later, finding no bits ar all in the oil pan, and I find the source of the rattle. Am I right in assuming that my truck is basically yanking my chain at this point and it's a better idea to just save the timing kit for later?
I also did have a bit of a tappetty noise on the same bank before the rattle started, but the oil was pretty low so I reckon that's done
