I never paid any attention to a noise I get every morning when I wake up to turn on my car. It's just some kind of rattling noise in the engine that happens when I first start the car but then goes away in like half a sec. When I read the faqs I checked the info they had on timing chains and they said if u heard a rattling type niose then there is some prob with the tensioners and guides. Has anybody had timing chain problems? Did anybody's car ever start up with some weird rattling noise? My car has 69g miles, is it time to change it, the faq said that the timing chain never has to be changed, is that true? And if I have to change, how long can I wait?(its pretty #### expensive)
BTW, my car is a 90 240sx fastback
