Oh. In addition to pads I would do the tensioner update. And I would replace the chains because they are so cheap. Wayne Dempsey, alldata, and YouTube university and you can do either engine out or in car. Engine out took about 2 1/2 days extra The repair took about a day per side. For me a day = about 4 hours. I used 5900. You use very little. I did the first side with a 1.5 mm estimate. Too much. Took it back off. Did it again with much less. Too much. Took it back off. Did it again with a thin film finger spread. Perfect, just like the factory squish.
I guess we are done here. Time to find another forum with actual people on it.

This is the forum with people on it. Just because we're not chiming in doesn't mean we're not listening... it's because many of us are "meh"n the rattle... inspecting our oil pans to reveal when we MUST do that repair. Kinda like the IMS, meh.
It sounds like you've some great technical skills to share with us. Do so. Don't shy away.
Remember: Thinkers are listening to you. So when you don't hear anything, know we're here. The listeners.
Have a great 4th!
PS. I bet on start up thhe sound is music to your ears.
