Mike, change the timing chain regardless. If it still is, in fact, the
original one...it's probably stretched to the point of rattling on the
timing cover.

Subject: DML: timing chain or rocker noise??

i've noticed that my 94 V6 rattles a bit more than usual lately. it has

130k miles with mostly original parts including the timing chain. at
idle i
can hear it real well. it is coming from the driver's side for sure,
but
what is the best way to tell if is my timing chain or rockers?? i
changed
the water pump earlier this year along with the belly pan gasket. so
i've
taken the motor down that far before. anything tricky with either of
these
jobs?? any help is appreciated...
thanks...

Mike K
