My redtop SR timing chain started to rattle this week. I don't see any loss in performance and idle is steady as a rock. It just rattles when I accelerate up to about 3000rpm. After checking to make sure it wasn't anything else (loose exhaust mani, etc...) I have decided to change the timing chain tensioner. I just wanted to make sure that I got it right. I can use a SR20DE upgraded tensioner and it simply bolts right in, correct? If that doesn't fix it I will remove the valve cover and remove the upper chain guide to see if that fixes it.

Anyone got any advice?

 

From what I know, the B13 SR20DE chain tens. should work just fine.
