ka24de rattling after bothe chain guides removed!

[OoAtreyuloO]

So i removed both chain guids upper and lower.
after that the motor sounded good for like 100miles than started sounding the same after that! help already checked oil and its good!

Sound like you should put your lower guide back on. Ive only heard of people taking the upper one off.

really?
i heard its common to remove both

Shit, i didnt even know you could remove them. Not to jack the thread but what is the benefit of removing the guide/s

did you remove the 2 on top? those are both uppers... theres also a lower one..

did you clean, lube and check the tensioner was functioning correctly also?

no benefit unless it starts rattling.

thanx for the reply

yea i removed the top and the second one to the right by the dizzy

i checked the top tensioner which is excellent but i have not gotten to the bottom

question how much slack is normal on the chain cuz on the right side where the guide was i can move it a little.

Tensioners use engine oil pressure for adjustment. There may be some play.
