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

[Ron Porter]

Same here. On my '95 with the trashed bearings, the noise was between about
2,200-3,500 rpm. It almost sounded like a ping, but it got to be very
consistent in the range (the bearing were REALLY toast!).

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.
