hey guys im having the same problem with my timing chain it seems like with my 04 maxima. After reading around it looks like my timing chain is whats making that rattling noise, i took it to a mechanic and he said he would have to pull the engine out in order to replace the timing chain. The thing is that the car is eating a lot of oil it looks like, he put in 3 quarts and the oil was just changed a couple months back, after adding the oil it doesnt make noise after its been revved a few times, only when cold start or idle. He suggested I use lucas oil stabalizer next time it goes lower.

Does anyone know how to fix this, when i read online it looks like people tried using fuel injection cleaner and they "purged their engine" and that worked. Btw how do you purge an engine for this car. Otherwise its going to be pretty expensive, anyone know a good mechanic to do this for cheap hopefully in the socal area? thanks a lot guys
