Could be those plastic oil channels too. That was another common problem on the V8's, although that sound is normally around for the first couple minutes of operation, instead of just a couple seconds like the OP is describing, so I dunno...
1993 T-chain rattle even after changing
Hi.
I have a problem with a 1993 SL500.
At 138,000 miles.The timing chain started to rattle when the car is left overnight, most of the times it just the first start in the morning. and it only persists for less than 2 seconds.
So I got it changed with the correct new Iwes timing chain, new tensioner , new upper guides (4) and fresh oil.
But after a few days, it started to rattle again !!
Anyone encoutered a similar problems ? any soloutions ?
I heard of the old oil filter valve problem, and that replacing it would solve this. But I'm not sure.
Thanks in advance
