Chattering? Exactly where in the engine bay? Is it all the time or certain RPM`s?

How old is your timing chain/sliders?? Mine is chattering up a storm since the chain has over 150,000 miles on it... I'm just driving the car until it breaks... Then I have a reason to rebuild big..



What about the condition of your clutch Pressure Plate?? Is it new?? Is your clutch adjusted correctly??
