[QUOTE="wneumann2, post: 21353, member: 7672"] Update: The issue is fixed, although now there is the slightest whining noise that changes with engine RPM. It may be completely normal though... almost imperceptible. Here's what I did since last post: 1. Replaced both cam phasers and lower timing chain sprocket 2. Replaced balance chain as well as all 3 balance chain sprockets plus chain guides. Chain was noticeably snugger afterwards. I also replaced the sprockets with the new Cloyes design which doesn't have the OEM cushion rings, which could have been the source of the noise I suppose. 3. Replaced timing chain oil sprayer 4. Thoroughly cleaned out PCV orifice. No idea which of these changes fixed the issue, but I will say it runs smoother than it ever has. [/QUOTE]
