Timing chains

Is the rattling of the timing chains periodically anything to worry about

Depends.

If it's just due to tensioner leak-down and only occurs on start-up after sitting, then no. If you can hear them at all when the engine is running, then yes.

Yes if the guides have worn through. When in doubt, replace them

[03Merc]

Yes worry about them. Replace asap.

It doesn't do it all the time just on Startup and after sitting for a while

Listen to these responses, replace them.

Better to replace the chains and guides than loose the motor .

That's the only time it should do it really. Look up Zack's parts list and order EXACTLY what He says....
