Stupid chain... How long do I have?
If you guys remember, I was earlier trying to figure out if a noise I heard AFTER replacement of my timing chain, guides and tensioner was still the chain. I've decided that it definitely is. On cold starts, I sometimes get no chain noise, and sometimes I get a rattle for a split second. On warm/hot starts, I get anywhere from 2 to 8 distinct, and loud, ticks, which I assume are the chain smacking against one or both of my chain guides. Since my chain and guides are new (Toyota parts), how long do you suppose I have before my guides break (again) and I have to replace them?
(I still wish I knew how it is that I have this problem with a new Toyota chain kit...)
