I have what my local indy is saying is a timing chain rattle on my '87TC. It has not gotten worse, is only noticeable at low speeds, and I've just been living with it. My indy, who does not actually seem to understand my car (but is the only mechanic in my rural area who will work on it!) says the chain could go at any time, and I'm looking at having the engine out and probably at least 2K$ for the repair.
I see here that there seems to be a way to roll the chain in, without taking the engine out, that folks talk about. I'm going to be in the SF bay Area next week, and would like to take it to a Saab expert for their diagnosis...any recommendations for the best indy in the Bay Area? Saab replay in Berkeley gets very mixed reviews...Dan's Saab in San Rafael is where I'm leaning to go...
