Rattling sound
i bought a 91 hatch with Ka24DE. when it was idle, there was this umm... rattling sound? im not sure what it is and its annoying. like REALLY annoying.
i read up on it and found that its most likely the timing belt guide. if u take it out, it no longer rattles. but i dont kno i wanna make sure b4 i take out anything important.
help help?

Mine has made that sound ever since I bought it. The guy I bought it from swears he just had the timing chain changed right before I bought the car. My mechanic says it's normal for a car with over 100,000 miles to sound like that.... I'm not so sure I'm convinced yet. Can't stand that rattle.

mine rattles at idle also.....but when i depress the clutch pedal a little bit-but not engaging the clutch- it goes away. I need to adjust the clutch pedal, also, because it has too much free play. Adjusting the pedal won't make the rattle go away I don't think. Time to FAQ! lol

I just found out i hav a blown headgasket, need new radiator and hoses, and the timing chain work. around 1500 - 1800... so..... now im gonna toss the engine and swap the engine. So... the new question is now... what engine should i swap in. hmmmmmm.......
