Is it ok to drive around with out the chain guide? Isn't that there to help keep it from jumping timing (spinning the cams & wrecking the engine)? If the tensioner is working correctly, why does it start hitting the guide in the first place? I have this same problem (the noise) that's why I'm asking. I cannot afford to wreck/replace my engine right now,so I'm hoping to cure it.
Thanks for the advice.
