Default TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER DIY
I just bought a Used 04 Honda S2000. After a Oil change, I started hearing ticking, rattling noises from my vehicle. I checked the oil levels and it's top off. I am hearing about TCT from certain post here and there. I was wondering if anybody living Alhambra, CA, can help me check it out?

Talk to Alex at Ballade Motorsports. They have a lifetime warranty on their TCT, which is AWESOME because the TCT's are known to go bad on our cars. It's in Garden Grove if you're willing to make the trek.

I believe it is 125 with core exchange.

Alex's fix is a good one. I did my own but it's a hassle to do it for one who's not mechanically inclined. Just hit him up and get it done right.
