Update: The noise is back same as before maybe slightly better but still the same. Guess last resort is the top tensioner, if that doesn't work im just going to have to hope it holds up until I have the money for the chain kit.

After multiple cold starts i can say the rattle is all but gone, seems to still have a slightly different noise as oil pressure builds (all 2 seconds of it) but I wouldn't call it a rattle. I will never go back to using aftermarket oil filters.

If its any worse than the top tensioner being the issue I doubt i will keep it, not worth 3.5k for the chain upgrade with all the other smaller issues the nav seems to have.

After switching to genuine filter and penrite 5w40 (I chose 5w 40 instead of 10w 40 for better oil flow during cold startup) it has drastically reduced timing chain noise on startup. Instead of 5-6 seconds to reach oil pressure its 2.5 to max 3 seconds, this seems to stop the worst part of the...

Ive got a genuine Nissan filter and it has MANN written on it and also Nissan, got it from the dealership in my town.

I usually do all of the work myself unless I cant find time or dont have the tools. Is it ok to do a proper engine flush with a higher km engine? Ive heard this can actually bring up issues due to cleaning it too well and unblocking bad seals/gaskets. Im new to deisels and this is my first...

Thankyou for the reply, I think id either have to replace the exhaust or maybe pry it away and jam something in between that could handle the heat and hopefully dampen the vibration. I am yet to remove the heat shields but I can't see any soot around the turbo or anywhere on the exhaust.

I have alot of engine noise inside the cab, alot more noticeable with windows up. (D22 yd25) Ive noticed at times when driving around that the engine sounds like its misfiring because of the engine noise but it still seems to drive perfectly fine with no issues, just the horrible engine revving...

I have a 2009 d22 stx, 221,000kms on original chains. I had the oil cooler blow and when it was at the mechanics he changed to a ryco oil filter, I've noticed since then there is a chain rattle on cold starts/ when its been sitting for an hour or more. I am up for an oil change, I will change...
