Hey Eric love what u do i need your help asap!! I have a 2006 honda civic si k20z3 with 80k miles. Only On cold startups below 50 degrees F after the car sits for more than 5ish hours only, i get a chain slap/ rattleing noise from engine bayfor 1-2 seconds then perfect after even if i turn my car off and on right away it wont make the noise again only on first cold start up. My car skipped timing last week when i jacked it up and put it back down for simple tire change and it wouldnt start after. now the timing has been corrected but i dont know what to replace. 8th gen civic forms are arguing between Vtc , vtc actuator, or tensioner. Which one is it or nun of the above? Oil is at level. Thanks for ur help.
