How to Solve Chain Noise Issues?
1 Answers
Here are the solutions for chain noise issues: 1. Mechanical components: The main causes of timing chain noise usually include lack of tension in the chain tensioner, stretched timing chain, abnormal wear of the guide chain plate, or abnormal timing sprocket. This involves replacing the faulty mechanical components—whichever part is damaged should be replaced. 2. Lubrication system failure: To prevent excessive chain wear and increased clearance, the system is equipped with an automatic chain tensioner. This tensioner operates based on oil pressure. When the lubrication system malfunctions, abnormal oil pressure can lead to excessive chain clearance and noise. Prompt inspection and repair are necessary to prevent excessive clearance and potential engine damage due to chain skipping. 3. Low oil pressure: Noise caused by low oil pressure is usually more noticeable at idle and reduces when accelerating.
