Haha, yeah, i had previously removed the upper most guide with no change in the noise. So after a lot of research i found out about the lower guide on the upper chain. So 2nite with the help of my dad, he helped out a lot, we went in and took out that second guide. Once we started it up, i began enjoying the silence!

my guides were in decent shape compared to others, but the chewing up had begun.
