Yeah, thanks for the update. I too, am uncertain whether or not the noise is lash adjusters or faulty tensioners. I was thinking about the tensioners since fixing/replacing the lash adjusters would cost a fortune. I wasn't planning on cleaning mine but replacing them with new. I don't see how you would know for sure unless you replaced them and I think the parts have been updated since the car's were built, so apparently they're a know trouble spot. I think I've seen a picture of a replacement tensioner with a big spring to keep the chain kind of tight during startup even if the hydraulic aspect has bled down overnight.

I haven't talked with my mechanic yet about the work. I don't like working under my car alone so I'm kind of afraid to attempt it DIY.
