Jeep Liberty Timing Tick

[swarmerdam]

Here is my issue. The timing chain ticks on my 05 Liberty. I took it all apart and replaced the two hydraulic tensioners. It still ticks. Using a stethoscope you can tell its the chain whacking the little piece on the hydraulic tenioner on the passenger side at least that it what it sounds like. I guess I have to take it back apart I just don't know what to do differently. Any insight would be awesome.

Just an FYI its not the hydraulic lifters I changed them as well just to be sure, and since they were only like 11 bucks each. The car doesn't tick when its started dead cold but after 1 min or so it starts ticking and doesn't stop.

Chains have stretched and the tensioners cant take up the slack

Carbon build up. It's an ignition ping. Mine did it to until I had the engine decarbonizing done at a BG products dealer

He should've replaced everything while he had it apart

Yep now you gotta take it all apart again to do chains
