it’s your timing chain. I believe it’s because your tensioners are worn (someone help me out with this one, I don’t know much about KA’s)
Most people just leave it and try to forget about it… I think you have replace both the timing chain and all the tensioners in order to fix it, which is very labour intensive. You’re almost better off buying a whole new engine (cheaper…)
buy a new engine,
fix the tensioners and timing chain on the old engine that you took out and sell the engine to make your money back!
Its the Timming chain itself, as the engine gets older the chain develops slack and starts to rub or hit the side of the guides. If left alone for two long it could wear through and cause BAD shit. Either buy a engine with no rattle or pull the engine buy the timming chain kit off ebay for like 180USD (it comes with the chain, gears, guides the whole thing) and replace it. Bring it to nissan and they will want about 1200CND to do the job since it dose require like a day of labor.
