I got her towed to the dealer on tuesday. The tech came out and listen to the motor to confirm my suspision about the chain rubbing the cover. They just called me late this afternoon, they pulled the front cover of the motor and found that the timing chain tensioner had failed allowing the chain to slacken and come in contact with the cover. The chain was damaged but the cover was fine, most of the noise he said was all the slack in the chain causing it to slap around inside the cover. no damage to the cam gears and funny it never jumped time.
So in a nut shell new tensioner, chain and guides, plus all the assorted gaskets, price to come . He told me he would get the price for me in the a.m.. I just want the damn thing fixed.
only has just a tick over 49,000 miles, doing about 2,000 miles a year since I stopped using has a daily driver, synthetic oil and babied doesn't guarantee you anything...It just luck of the draw.
