So... I get that rattle at startup and, based upon my reading, believe it to be those tensioners. Yesterday when I went for a spin it was louder than normal. However, I hadn't driven it in about 6 days.

So... I have some questions, and hope someone can enlighten me.

I thought about taking it to the local indy shop and have them connect a Durametric or the PS## tool thinking maybe it would reveal if there are any tolerances that are out of whack... or whatever information that might reveal in what condition are the tensioners, individually, and if they need replacement. Then I started thinking...

Couldn't the local indy hook up the car and prepare a complete and comprehensive report about all the major/primary components that would reveal what's good... what's bad... and what's on its way out?

How much $$ would be reasonable for an indy to run that software and prepare a report?

While they're "in there" is there anything in particular I should have them look at/test?

In advance, thanks for the help.

Cheers!
