Does Anyone Know If S13's Have Common Problems With Timing Chains. I Just Fixed Mine Friday And Last Night It Sounds Like Is Broken Again! Can Anyone Help Me Understand What The F* Is The Problem With The Car.
Thanks

NEED MORE DETAIL. What do you mean it broke? I never seen one break. Di you replace the upper or lower? Did you replace both Tensioners? What about the lower guide? What exactly did you do? Maybe the tensioners are not getting proper oil pressure from poor maintaince over the years proir.
 
Basically I Just Changed Both Of Them And Ever Since I Bought The Car I Ve Maintance It Every Three Months, And It Just Got All The Seals Replaced And I Just Don't Know What The Hell Happened. I Am Going To Drop It Off At The Guy Again But I Was Just Wondering If It Was A Normal Thing With Ka Motors Or Something ( If You Go To The Thread About You Know You Own An S13 When...) Number 18 Says That The Timing Chain Rattle No Longer Bothers You. I Figured Is A Normal Thing With Ka Motors.
 
I've heard about the tensioners being week on the ka's but that's about it. As far as ur problem goes i've never had that happen 2 me check with the guy who installed the chains maybe he didn't tighten them 2 factory spec.

I've heard about the tensioners being weak on the ka's but that's about it. As far as ur problem goes i've never had that happen 2 me check with the guy who installed the chains maybe he didn't tighten them 2 factory spec.
 
thanks for the info. I ll ask him today!
