My car is making this noise that sounds like the timing chain rattle most KA's have. This noise is only present between 2500-3000 RPM's anything above or under that it isn't there. I have already removed the top guide and it's still making the noise. Anyone got any idea what it could be? I am considering replacing the whole timing chain assembly with the kit from FRSports, but before I do that I want to make sure it is the timing chain and not anything else. Thanks in advance for any help.

Check your exhaust heat sheilds. Header studs.

I don't have an exhaust heat shield, but I will check the manifold sometime today and see if it's loose.
