My 85 900T16 has developed rattle on the timing chain - its done 180000 miles so I think changing it would not be a bad thing. Could I have some suggestions from people who have done this with the engine in situ - I know it is possible but fiddly. I replaced the oil pump seal last year so the pulley bolt should come off easily. Has anyone replaced the early type tensioner with the later one - I have heard these are better - it may even be the cause of the rattle any suggestions?. John
