I was painting my valve cover today and when i removed my valve cover i found a piece of metal layin on top of my timing chain. it was supposed to be mounted to this thing but it broke off and now it jus sits on top of my timin chain. if it was connected they would not touch. i believe this piece of metal of supposed to keep the timin chain in place so it doesn't move anywhere. my cars been makin a rattlin noise ever since i bought the car i nvr really found out until now wat was makin the noise. i'm not sure if i should jus leave it where it is, drive w/ it out my engine, or maybe i could jus get one from someones ka (someone whos done sr swap and doesn't need their ka). wat should i do?
The location of the piece of metal
This is me holdin the piece from the chain
