The timing chain kept rattling on almost forever in the 80s and early 90s cars.
That why I'm curious to find out what came first in these later engines (the hen or the egg syndrome).
Bad oil or long interval between changes?
Bad PCV system or piston rings?
Bad head bolts or torque specs?
Bad oil pick up screens or timing chains/guides?
Bad oil pump or front engine covers?
It seems to be so many variables that it makes it difficult to find the underlying real problem.
