Answer
Hi Bob,

The timing chain tension should be checked. If the problem persists after adjustment, the cahin and tensioners may need replaced.

I recommend you obtain a copy of the Service Manual.

The manual has illustrated procedures for this and all other maintenance and repairs. It will pay for itself with the first repair you perform.

Use AllExperts after you have the manual and still need assistance.
