When they rattle like that, just unwind the tensioner enough so it goes click and wind it back in and see if it stops. Worked on ours.

Tried this worked for a while but rattle still comes and goes .ordered a knew tensioner from cafa racer in batherst it is not hydrolic be intersting to see how it goes.they recken it will improve bottem end power due to more consistent valve timing ?
