I have an 03' AP1 S2K with about 35K...i feel like the motor should be more quiet than it is , possibly sounds like the valves ticking a bit too loud , nothing crazy but id rather get it done b4 further damage...how can i tell if its the Timing chain tensioner? i have a feeling this may be my problem..

then its your TCT. at this time there is no permanent fix. PM Billman250...hes modifying a TCT as a solution to a permanent fix

hmmm. I may Pm billman, wonder what hes doing. honda has revised the TCT as far as i was told. and the last one i did for a customer, it hasnt failed since. and he, like myself, was going through them in vegas, one every 20-30k miles. i dont think bill needs to mess with them, for his own saved time.
