Reply With QuoteMy SR20DE engine of 158,000m had a low grinding noise at tickover up to about
2000rpm when the engine was cold that went away as the engine warmed up. It
never rattled though. It never changed in the 87,000m that I owned the car
(Primera). If you use about 18" or so of tubing as a stethoscope you should be
able to pinpoint the noise to the timing chain/tensioner area if that's the
cause.

Timing Chain Noise?
In an earlier post, Steve mentioned that timing chain noise is RPM
sensitive. My car is a '96 Sentra. What RPM range? Low (curb idle) or
driving 3000 - 5000 Range? Just curious, I've been hearing a rattling noise
from the engine compartment somewhere since May 03. It's only at curb idle.
Once RPM's increase, it completely goes away. I've been thinking it's
aluminum sheild or something along that line. Its not getting worse.

Do you hear it when the engine is decelerating as well?

Normally a loose chain will rattle on decel as well. What you are talking
about sounds more like it might be a heat shield etc.
