I have a 95 Nissan truck with about 120,000 miles on it. I sometimes hear a rattling noise from the front of the engine. It does not go away when the engine warms up, and I don't hear it when under load or at rpm greater then about 1500 or so. My first choice is timing chain rattle. 120,000 miles on a timing chain is a lot - but is that a lot for this engine? How long can this engine go before it looses the chain - do they drop them easily, or last forever?
