Thanks dude I hear you, there is still a slight rattle but only when it is very hot outside, nex thing I want to do is remve the upper timing chain guide I am certain that is still causing the sound.aep886 wrote:it a common problem on high mileage SR20det....Buckusa wrote:thought Id let you guys know, I just changed the timing chain tensioner and voila the sound is gone

replace it...

There is a cheaper solution to try first (especially if it's in the early stages/light rattle)
The selanoid that you unplug is replaceable. The S15 SR's came out with a different design for this to cure the VVT rattle but they never did a re-call, nor did they admit to this
See here:
The one on the left is more than likely the one you have (old design), you need to replace it with the one on the right (new/s15 design). You can get these new from Nissan, or look internationally for it second hand (I can source if you need, just pm me).
It has cured VVT rattle 70% of the time in my experience, only time it hasn't is when the rattle was very bad.
