[S12] FJ20E normal chain rattle or do I have a problem?
Hi guys

My silvia S12 GP with FJ20E makes a strange rattle. I have read about the mazda chain tensioner and typical FJ20E rattle on FJ20.com but I am wondering if this sound is normal?
It does exactly like they said that it does rattle when started but it also rattles when I hit the 2000RPM area.

I have included a video of it. Some advice please guys.

Thanks

Yes but I have also read that the chain rattle should be gone when engine is on temperature. In my case it still rattles about the 2000 RPM

Just ordered the mazda chain tensioner.
Should be at the dealer in 2 days. Maybe replacing this one next week.

you do need to do a little grinding on it to make it fit, you will see when you offer it up.

Yes I know. My buddy has done this before with another FJ20E so it should be no problem.
Have you done it to your FJ?
