Can you elaborate a little more on this? I hear a rattling in my car, when I first start it in the morning, but it goes away after a couple of seconds, I dont know if this is it, but if you could....

 

Upper Timing Chain Guide:

Tools needed: 10mm socket and ratchet, possibly new valve cover gasket.

Procedure: Start off by marking the spark plug wires (1,2,3,4) and removing them from the spark plugs. Then remove all bolts from the valve cover (11 I believe on the DOHC). Lift off cover, using leverage if needed. At the front of the engine, bolted on top of the timing chain, is the timing chain guide. Remove the two bolts and throw away the guide. Replace valve cover with new gasket (or with old if you don't buy a new one), replace all bolts (hand tight, don't muscle 'em too much), and spark plug wires in order (1,2,3,4).

All done

 

Don't forget the guide in the front cover by the distributor. I removed the top one underneath the valve cover and it took away some of the rattling but I need to go back in there and remove the other one.

Why you should buy a Nissan 240sx... (i love S13)

ka24(d)e thin body parts that dent so easily faded windshield wiper switch cigarette lighter that pops out power windows that stop working odometer that gets stuck leaky bushings uneven camber rear defroster that doesnt work clunky steering overheating blown speakers faded seatbelts faded temperature control automatic seatbelts great interior fabric schemes shitty brakes great way of changing headlight bulbs trunk fabric walls that break off dropping a strut bar nut in the rear brake lights burn out leaky injectors leaky windows strange creaking noises awesome moonroof brittle interior cloth leaky injectors spot on the armrest that rubs away power antenna not working nasty shift boot that falls apart people capacity: 2 people and a midget with no legs wonderful black tape that wraps around the body no cup holders bad timing chain guides driver's side rear lean siezed transmission drain/filler plugs.

 

+1 TO THAT - basically everything listed there, has happened to may car, im just waiting for one of the pistons to shoot through my hood, so i can use that as my cup holder.

 

thats the t/c bushings that cause that, not the tie rods.

 

Actually, some 240's came with cupholders...mine did Sold them for like $75...
