Yes.. i searched.. but my problem is not the normal "ticking"..

I have teh hahn intake manifold, and it is light weight... i was able to hear the vt inside the head... kinda cool..

well over the past couple days... it has gotten significantly louder.. It almost seems to make a squeking sound as well. And when i mean its loud.. its loud... I can hear it reverb off of teh car next to me...

Checked oil level... It is a little high... It is due for a change as well.. could this be the problem?

Next guess is timing chain tensioner. The sound doesnt seem to be coming just from the end with the timing gears.. it seems to be coming from the head itself..

Thanks!

could it be ur tune? or i'd say bad oil/going bad?

im goin with chain tensioner, it is fairly common for your motor. not a huge deal!

How plausible is this?

has your timing chain tensioner ever been changed?

hey man i just came on here to ask about the same thing. is your car making a weird squealing noise as the rpm's get higher? and when your sitting at a light does it sound like a really bad exhaust rattle? this has been driving me crazy latley

then you have the old style. the new one is on CED for like $55.

ShortStack

You think thats the problem?

SSchargedSS

it was the 06 -(07?) that had the wrong timing chain tensioner (or wrong design) put in. not 05. but easy to check anyhow

ShortStack

the_rainmaker

Thank you.. Appreciate the feed back.

New exhaust manifold? make sure the bolts are tight, an exhaust leak here can sound similar
