I replaced the timing chain, started fine with cover off. Sounded good. Put it all back together. Sounds like crap. A little rubbing noise or a little hit noise from the cover now. Everything is new. And everything runs fine. Gets quieter when RPM's go up.

 

Sounds like you answered your own question. Check the cover.

 

my question is why would a cover do that?

 

Not on correctly?

 

Thats my guess......

 

im ripping it off today to look so ill see. is there a way to put a timing cover on i dont know about? lol

 

Did you make sure the snubber was in the timing chain cover before installing it?
