Yeah, I thought about doing that but since they assured me that if it doesn't fix the issue they won't charge me i just went ahead with the repair. The only other Nissan dealership around here is like a 1/2 hour away.

 

M9...? What did that mean

 

u r unknowing. 5srs

 

Are you jackin' with me? Lol... yeah, I don't know what that means either

 

i'd luv to be jacking with u.

bros always +1.

 

That's what I'm worried about. When you listen to the video do you know if the knocking noise is even something that the timing chain cause?

 

timing chain can definitely cause knock.

 

i cant listen at work, hell not supposed to be on forum at work, but when boss is away.... i will watch it tonight

Ok, well hopefully that fixes it then. Sucks that is going to cost so much, but it's whatever I guess.

 

Ok, thank you

he's lying...... its just lust

 

shhh...

she doesn't know that yet. i'll tell her tomorrow morning #PillowTalk

 

Thanks Ser, will do!

 

I can tell you now, Nissan's timing chain commonly has issues but only at cold startup. The loud chatter usually only lasts for a second then goes right away. The plastic tensioners wear out like they said.

Now of course I'm not ruling out possibility of the chain going completely bad, but what I said above is very common and normal according to Nissan. The fact that this problem arose right after you installed those mods makes me think it's not the timing chain.

 

At cold start up she def is quite. The knocking only begins after she's been running for about a min or so... It starts in very quiet and gradually gets louder to the level that's in the video and only can be heard at idle. As soon as I start driving it's undetectable. If it was the timing chain I would think that it would do it at all times (when cold & while driving), which it does not. I did reinstall the plenum and am 100% positive that it is installed correctly... and the thing is that the noise is not coming from the top of the motor, but rather from the drivers side front of the engine behind the bumper just above the belts...?
