CX7 TIMING CHAIN FAILURE A stretched timing chain on a CX7 2.3L Petrol engine is all too common. The most common symptom of this fault is a rattling noise on first start up.

How can you tell if an engine has an irregular noise?
You can check your clearances by inserting a thickness gauge between the lifter or rocker arm and the valve stem.
