chain noise 2002 tt

[bjj]

2002 996tt @51k miles

has a chain niose on rt side.

kinda, a clicky-clack,clicky-clack,clicky-clack....... at idle...... off idle goes away.

listening with a long screwdriver you hear it on the rt chainrails mounting pins.

so we are thinking a worn rail or pad on the rail.

what about tenioner....low presure at idle ?

or chain slack......... at low idle ?

It's a new owner he never noticed it till I brought it to his attention doing and oil change.

now paranoia has set in and he hears it and wants it fixed,

I have motor out ,Valve Covers off. getting ready to remove chain rails to inspect

does he have LWFW?

[bjj]

sorry but what is "LWFW" ?

ok i searched ....

no it doesn't have light flywheel.

I know what that sounds like.

this in the rt chain area.

flywheel noise usually goes away when clutch is applied,

this doesn't.

is this not just the normal second shaft clank/rattle that most if not all have? mine does the same ,the noise goes at about 2-3000 rpm..

Almost every 996TT does a rattling sound at idle...It should go away above 1000rpm...If this is the case nothing to worry...However i can not tell whether this sound comes from left or right side...So if the sound you hear is focused on one side...it might be something else...
