because nissan doesnt even make the guides anymore..for a reason, they fail.

Sure they do. I put a new set in my SOHC KA about a year before I pitched that beast of a motor. I gave up with all the EGR faults (I think the ECU was fubar) and other random crap and got an SR. I vote Powerzen should do the same

But seriously, it could be the guide. They might have put in a guide that was *not* one of the redesigned ones. Or maybe the guide on the other side failed. In any case, the design was still crappy. I had the timing chain rattle about a year after I changed my guides too. Say it with me: "Phuck it." The engine will keep going. Just drive it till it does something bad, then drop a KA or SR in.
