el fairmont dual fuel
engine has a rattle when at working temp, or louder after a bit of a hammering(max 4000 rpm), i've noticed it is louder when it is on petrol than on gas, and only really heard between 1000rpm and 1500rpm but quite noticeable.
reading thru the forum i think it is a timing chain guide but dunno.
any help please, if it is a guide can it be changed seperately or new timming kit and roughly how much should i be looking at.
thanks
