<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Chain rattle''' is a common problem with [[Astron II]] engines. Most people believe that the problem is due to a rattling timing chain, but instead it is normally caused by slack in the [[balance shaft]] chain.<br />
<br />
All Astron IIs can have [[Balance shaft chain adjustment|manual balance shaft chain adjustment]] and in fact this is recommended every 20,000Km for older Astron IIs. Later Astron IIs can be adjusted but due to the [[self adjusting bs chain|self-adjusting mechanism]] the source of the slackness should be investigated.<br />
<br />
Many have discovered that the self-adjusting chain rattles more on startup than the manually adjusting setup. This is due to the adjuster not having a "ratchet" like the [[timing chain tensioner]] to stop it from retracting when there is low oil pressure. Therefore at startup a slightly worn chain will rattle as it isn't being tensioned.<br />
