1999 with SOHC, 130K; sounds like timing chain rattles @ idle, air conditioner on or off. Passed smog recently
Information from books says to replace timing chains requires engine removal; however I have heard about an aftermarket tensioner "fix". How do I find out more, where do I get this item and what do I ask for, and is it possible for a capable home mechanic to install without engine removal?
Thanks
Is this the M0012 kit?
