camchain tinging??
I have a 93 nissan hardbody truck that has a 93 nissan 240 sx in it. There is a ting coming from the top front of the engine. Would anyone have a clue what would make this noise? It still runs fine. Valves? camchain guides? camchain? Thank you for any input.

the ka is notorious for timing chain rattle. one of the guides probably broke. do a search you should find quite a bit. word of advice dont go too cheap on fixing it if you ebay. i have a buddy that did and screwed his motor up.

good news i took the side guide off and the noise stopped. but in doing so i noticed that both of the front cam gears are loose while back ones are tight? do you know if that is normal? They wiggle back and forth?
