Originally posted by adamk: I've got the same thing with my E0 now on synthetic oil, and I've been told it won't hurt anything. Replacing the tensioner is a costly endevour and IMO not worth it. The noise will go away once it warms up some.
It will be more than worth it to keep the timing chain from slipping a tooth or two... Which would you rather do? Rebuild/Replace an Engine or Replace the Timing Chain and Guides?
