E36General discussion and technical help for (E36) 1992-1999 3 series cars. 318, 323, 325, 328.
so theres this kind of tapping noise coming from the visible part of my valve cover. im thinking its the timing chain slapping or something. do i get a new chain? anyone else have this problem? what chains should i get and is there anything else i should replace while i have my valve cover off?
Thank you.

I'm far from being an authority on automotive mechanics, but all you might need to do is change the tensioner, I understand quite easy and inexpensive to do yourself.

I believe pelicanparts.com has a very good DIY write up on this (and a bunch of other things), go to their site and I think off on the left side there's a link to "Technical Articles" or some such thing, that should answer any questions you may have.
