Want this question answered?
does it make noise? check http://forums.nicoclub.com/
it has a chain and when it needs replacing it will rattle and make alot of noise it souns likes the liftes but its the chain
When a timing belt is going bad it can make a high-pitched screeching sound. It can sound like a high-pitch whirring noise. Not all timing belts make a noise when they are worn or going bad.
Stop driving it because if the chain goes you will ruin the engine. Get it fixed.
You shouldn't worry about the noise it make. You should be worried more about the damage it's going to cause. Get it fix if not to late.
timing chains are replaced only if they make noise........however in the case of small engines they should outlast the engine! so you do not replace the timing chaing........seen cars with 200k+ with no issues from the timing chain!
If you have a 4.0 SOHC engine you are hearing the timing chain rattle against the timing chain guides. Some slight noise is normal, but an excessive amount may mean you have timing chain guide and/or tensioner problems. If you have a 4.0 OHV engine, then you are probably hearing some lifter noise. Again, some may be normal, but excessive may be an indication of lifter troubles.
yes, if the tensioner is bad it will make a noise at idle, but when you rev it up the chain will get tighter and the noise will go away.
It is going to depend on the year, make, and model. Chrysler has had a 2.4 with a belt and a different 2.4 with a chain.
If your vehicle has a timing belt and not a chain, you need to replace it immediately. My distributor made the same ticking noise and it turned out to be the timing belt had a frayed piece on it and this piece was the source of the noise. Before I could figure it out, the belt broke and left me stranded on the roadside.
front of timing pulley making rumbling noise took belt off and still making the same noise.is the timing chain are is it a bearing on pulley.
Your car has the 1NZ-FE engine featuring VVT-i (variable valve timing with intelligence). This is a non-interference engine, with a timing chain. While a broken chain could cause damage to your engine, it is less likely to cause damage on a non-interference engine, and if the chain is damaged (but not completely snapped) you will often know it because it will make a lot of noise (stop driving it at that point and get the chain replaced). The chain is generally considered good for 250,000 miles unless it begins making noise.
