What are the effects of engine chain noise?
1 Answers
Chain noise can lead to insufficient engine power, excessive fuel consumption, difficulty in starting the vehicle, and in severe cases, engine failure. Below are the causes and solutions for engine chain noise: Damaged chain components: The chain tensioner lacks tension, the timing chain is stretched, the guide plate is abnormally worn, or the timing sprocket is malfunctioning. Mechanical components need to be replaced. Delayed engine oil change: Engine oil is required for lubrication. If the engine oil is not changed promptly, the chain may produce noise. Simply change the engine oil. Oil pump damage: Check if the engine oil pump is damaged, causing insufficient oil supply, which prevents the chain from being lubricated promptly, leading to noise. Replace or repair the engine oil pump.
