Ok ill check that out... a buddy of mine says its sounds more like my water pump bearings... do those tend to wear out on our cars or just the timing tensioner. Keep in mind car only has ~70k miles

The timing tensioner is direclty related to the waterpump.... so i think its the timing tensioner... but if you replace that, you might as well do the timing chain, and the water pump while you are at it

sounds good how much does that cost in total..??? with parts only not including labor i can do the labor. like how much does an average water pump and timing tensioner go for? Thanks for the help by the way
