I had the car in there for a valve lash adjustment because the engine was VERY ticky, as in it sounds like a sewing machine when I press the gas (under load only, nothing when kiting , or when engine is slowing down on compression). They did that, then the manager told me it was still ticky because my chain is a little stretched, and would have to be replaced eventually.
That sound is driving me a little crazy. Sometimes, usually when engine is cold, the sound isn't there, and the car seems to pull a little stronger. It could be something else, but my - albeit uneducated - guess is that it's probably a tensioner failure, given how weak they seem to be.
