Does anyone have any experience with the ka24e motor? From what I have read on other forums the timing chain rattle is a common problem that no real fix has ever been offered. I am contemplating replacing the timing chain to get rid of the rattle but am not sure if I should go through the trouble if it will start rattling again in a short period of time.

I replaced the timing chain tensioner after it failed at 107k on a ’98 Altima. The tensioners are hydraulic, working off oil pressure. If your oil pressure is good, and the rattle comes from the timing chain and not the lifters, you may need to replace the tensioners and probable the chain and head gasket.
When the tensioners go, the timing changes enough to make the engine sound like a diesel!
