I know Im getting it done, im jsut trying to make sure it's the chain tensioner, i dont have alot of money, the fact that it does that when the engine is hot, is what makes me think it might not be.

it does not cost anything to pull it apart. it is easy. all you have to do is remove the ingnition coils and abd valve cover. simply a matter of undoing some screws.
