Any reason you're replacing the chain?

well, its been rattling at start up for several minutes, it does get quiet eventually. and i was told that since i am doing the water pump soon that it has to be removed anyway. some op say just do tensioners and maybe guides but its at 200,000 miles and i want to keep it for another year or 2.

Correct me if I'm wrong but from what I've read the chain shouldn't have to be replaced only the tensioner and the guide need to be replaced to stop the rattling. I haven't done this my self (I plan on it soon because I have the rattling also) but from what I've read that's what my plan of attack is going to be when I do the job.

In order to remove the cams you would need to remove not only the main chain, but also both secondary chains, as well as the timing covers and/or the cam gears.
