My timing chain has been rattling at startup and now I'm getting a squeak at the back of the engine that I'm assuming is related. Looks like it's time to replace the tensioner. I read through the pelican article and looks quite a bit more painful than even the ims job. Just how painful is this to do with the motor in the car?
