Vauxhall insignia - timing chain ⚙️
B16DTH engine.
Came in for excessive rattle noise, stripped to find lower chain guide had broken.
They fail due to the tensioner not having a gasket fitted from factory and it lets the oil drain back when engines off causing the tensioner to be slack on startup.
New kit fitted with upgraded tensioner.
