I picked up a new tensioner at the nissan dealership and put in a couple days ago. It actually made a big difference. The rattling noise is gone. but i'm still getting a very slight ticking noise. i'm thinking it's just the normal SR loudness or either the top timing guide i put back on. i'm wondering if i should have put that thing back. i downloaded the s15 fsm cuz it's got the best quality of the all the other fsm's and the s15 motor still has the guide according to the fsm. So i just figured i should put it back in even though people have said that the later model sr's didn't have it anymore.
