Hi all

(Again)

if the cam chain is noisy,,, is this a sign of impending doom?

what is the actual sound??

the car i looked at had a rumble / whir from the fromt of the head, quite noisy from cold

but reduced in sound when warm.


sounded more like a whiring sound / bearing rumble inside the cylinder head??

is this the sound of a worn chain or something else ??


sorry to post to death but id rather be safe than sorry

When you start the engine try listening right up against the cam chain on the head. You could even try using a screwdriver tip against the cam-chain area and puttin your ear to the handle of the screwdriver. This will give you a very good idea of exactly where the noise is coming from..
