[Shotimes] Anyone have an audio file of a failing timing chain tensioner?

[Paul L Fisher]

When rod bearings just start going out, the rattle isn't very consistent. They 
would only make noise under the right load conditions. In my case, they only 
made noise if I kept my ATX in 1st, drove up to 3,000 RPM and then floored it. 
It would rattle from 3,000-3,300 RPM and then stop. The noise was very load 
during that time though.
