Hi, I have a intermittent noisy balance chain , that rattles once in a while and then goes away. Timing chain tensioner is still ok and timing chain itself appears in good condition,I'm wondering if its OK to cut off the balance chain from oil pan and drive without it. Has anyone attempted it before? please share your experience on how was the resulting vibrations in the car, are these somewhat livable? Car has 110K miles .
