i changed all 3 tensioners, locked the crank and valve gear. startup rattle unchanged. is it camchain noise i hear or is it valve lifters? it is definately related to oil pressure which make me think it is lifters unless the cam chain tensioners are affected by oil pressure. i thought they were immersed in oil but not under pressure?
