rattle in valvecover??
 

so basically, when i start my car, it rattles from within the valve cover, and its kind of late and i cant really work on it, so does anyone have any ideas what this could be? it almost sounds like there is something loose just getting knocked around. wtf.?

YEAH NUKKA!!!! u got the car
Hey check to see if its the timing chain. I know most of the guys on here just remove the top timing chain guide. Perhaps that would help (?)
Congrats broseff

yea, thats what my dad suggested, timing chain rattling. (hes 6 hours away, at work)

yea my chain was hittin the top guide so i took it off and it stopped

aight, ill do that tomorrow. after school. and after baseball practice.. damn.

ha thats probly goin to feel like the longest day of your life lol

actually bro its the upper and lower guide. i order to get the lower guide. you must remove the distributer and take the front cover off.

Ha well either way its the timing chain and on of her 3 guides hahaha

so just take the top guide off completely?

take the top guide and the side guide off, the one where the distributor is at. that should stop the noise. youd know if it was your lower guides so im pretty sure you wont have to go through that.

that was recall by nissan an should be taken off. both have broken before

ah alright, thanks guys. i just got her and drive and its rattling and i was like wtf... so its nothing major. woot. now i just wnat to get home, and fix her. then we can go driving.

yo Randy Savage, whats the mileage on her again?

222k. woot. a **** ton for a 95. but anyways, i got the probelm taken care of, after about an hour... (im not a mechanic, im 15.) and i also need a new valve gasket, both the inner and the outer. but yea, like you guys said, the top chain guide was broken off, and rattling. (just happened yesterday, on the drive home) and its runnin fine now. thanks guys.

cool good to see you got gl with it bro :thumb:
