1994 sentra ga16de
I'm hearing lots of noise between 1000 and 3500 RPM's. It seams to come and go depending on exactly how much gas I'm giving it.
Normally people would shout "timing chain tensioner", but I just did a complete timing chain job, which cleaned up most of the noises my engine was making.
At first I thought it was a bad valve and I prayed it wasn't rod knock. After some research I found out rod knock gets even worse at high RPM's and my car doesn't do that.
I put my ear up to the valve cover and I swear it's coming from the back left corner if you are facing the engine, which is right where the vtc is.

I know the sr20de engine is plagued with bad vtc sprockets, just google it or youtube it, but I'm not sure about the ga16de.
Has anyone ever heard of a vtc sprocket going bad and making noise in a ga16de?
Also, does anyone know if the vtc sprocket in a ga16de is the same design as the sr20de vtc sprocket?
