1995 OBDI ka24de
120k on the clock
both timing chain guides removed

got a very quiet pinging noise... like metal tapping on metal coming from somewhere in the engine. trouble is over the stupid fan and the exhaust i can't pin point it. it gets more noticeable if there's more load at idle (like turning on the highbeams).

my friends all think i'm crazy because they can't hear shit. but i know my car.

thought it might be the chain tensioners are a little stuck from age, making the chain a little slack causing it to tap against something. anyone know what that sounds like?

any ideas?
