anyone familiar with this, apparently it is a common problem with the 4.0L 2001 sports, my guides on the rear timing chain are going bad and making this grinding sound, a local mechanic told me that if I could tighten the chain a little i could get it to last longer due to the fact that it wouldn't be rubbing, he said there is a way to fix this from the outside without have to pull the engine and go internal....anyone know how I can get ot this???? any input helps, thanks alot guys!!
