Hey everyone. Just prior to pulling my 240 off the roads for the winter, I started to hear this rattling sound coming from what I thought was the timing chain. I have a redtop sr, just putting that out there for people who don't know.
I never got around to fixing it this winter, but I am prepared to go ahead with the fix. Ive heard remove the top guide and replace the tensioner with the revised one? Is this correct for the SR? I know about all the writeups for the KA, but is what I said above correct? Also, I took two videos of it and tried to capture the sound. Please give it a listen. Doesnt really occur during startup when it is cold outside. It really only appears when it is at normal operating temperature or if it is already a warm/hot day. Thanks. PS. It is really obvious on the video because i held it right up to the valve cover. Allbeit it is quite noticeable when revving it up a little bit and also letting it fall, it is harder to hear when idling except after it has warmed up.
