Now I guess this has probably been discussed before but I have a rattling timing chain on a 996 on 90K miles when starting from cold that appears to be getting noisier, I have owned the car for a year and it had just been serviced when I bought it since then it has done a couple of thousand miles due to the fact it is one of 3 cars I drive, I get a loud rattle for literally a second its not cam followers then the engine runs a sweet as it should anyway having extensively searched online can someone tell me to replace the tensioners do I have to lock the cams in order to remove each tensioner one at a time as I have read you need to lock the crank OK not a problem but the cams need a special tool but do you actually need to do this as some say yes and some say no.
I can fabricate a camshaft lock tool if needed but its a waste of time/effort if its not necessary so can anyone tell me what exactly is required because what I have read gives conflicting advice.
