Often time, the timing chain is stretched due to bad tensioner. When you replace a timing chain it is a good idea to replace the tensioner as well.

of course you need to replace the tensioners, guides and pulleys as well

I've got a 96 Saturn Twin Cam with 265,000 on it. I've noticed a rattle as I let the clutch out and give it gas when getting the car moving. Then it goes away. The noise only occurs between 1000 and 1300 rpm. I also notice some noise from the drive belt side of the motor on cold startup which goes away as the motor warms up. Almost positive it's timing chain slack. I'll have to yank the valve cover and inspect it.

What a frustrating video. How about share some audio of what the sound of a bad timing chain sounds like? Or what the lead code number would be if your check engine light comes on? Some more helpful specifics would be appreciated.

These chains are the reason i went back to timingbelt🙂 A car i had needed new timingchain after 120.000 km and sounded like a diesel.

Timing belt engines are simpler, last to 100k but mostly interface heads. So if you belt jumps or breaks it’s totally going to damage most of the valves. Time to swap engine-cheaper.

Actually your owner's manual, will recommend checking the chain and giudes around 50 to 75 thousand miles and replace as necessary. I think many recommend replacement at 120 thousand miles. My Honda recommended replacing the timing belt (not chain) every 75 thousand miles. Please don't be willfully ignorant.

I have a 92 caprice with 318,000 miles, doesn't use a drop of oil. I am the 3rd generation owner of it. There is some rattling going on in the front, my mechanic was saying it needs replaced. So I should probably gets this fixed asap. Thanks!

Given the age and mileage of your '92 Caprice, it's wise to address the rattling from the timing chain as your mechanic suggested. Timing chain issues can lead to more serious engine problems if not fixed promptly. Are you getting any camshaft codes on the OBD? Besides the timing chain, other possible causes for a rattle in the front of your '92 Caprice could include loose or worn suspension components like ball joints or tie rod ends, deteriorated engine mounts, or issues with the exhaust system. It's also good to check for any loose parts or debris in the engine bay that could be causing the noise.

I'm not getting any codes, this is a 92, the only light that has ever came on for me and stays on is the ABS light, but it's been out for years, my Dad never got it fixed, but I will eventually when I have more money to spend on it. I heard it could be a pump issue for the ABS possibly.
