I concur with Gene, the rattle didn't go away when I replaced my T
chain and tensioner (NLA). I've read that some say it is the oil pump
chain which is the rattler, age stretches it and a rattling it will go
with no tensioner. Juergen told me (IIRC) that the Matra guys who were
using these engines use to fabricate a spacer for the oil pump to
tighten the chain up because they couldn't stand the rattle
As far as the WP goes I found the hardest part was getting the fan
clutch back on the shaft without wrecking the impeller or the WP seals.
