https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGQx0gFf2VE Short clip of what my engine sounds like. I just bought the car a couple of weeks ago so I have no idea if this is normal or not. Is this the tct or just normal engine noise?

 

Normal.

Sure sounds like timing chain noise, to me.

 

sounds ok to me

 

Was the engine cold or warm when you took that video? I think I can hear a slight TCT noise (like a card in a spoke wheel) but it wasn't very prominent. It doesn't hurt to change out the TCT anyway - go with Billman's TCT and never worry about it again.

 

Engine was warm. I posted another video and post. Sound is coming mostly from the exhaust manifold. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHzrK7k1ACM

 

The engine sounds fine, mine sounds like this since the day I purchased the car. It usually sounds worse when cold.

 

Comforting ha. I think I will do both no matter what though. At 90k miles its about due and I don't think either have ever been done.

 

That sounds perfect to me, just the right amount of valve clatter, injectors firing smoothly, enjoy
