Mine have to be pressed together.

That valve train noise you're talking about, can you get a video or sound clip of it? I have a noise that shows up on my engine once in a while, some people say it's chain rattle, others say it's tappets, but it doesn't seem to affect my engine any. I'm just stumped as to what it might be.

i know its the chain. these things have issues with the tensioner and i was revving it to seafoam it. the problems never quit :surrender:

few weeks ago i purchased 4 new tires. they happened to be low profile. no big deal cause i got 4 for $180 new.
i go on sr trip. come back. lift the car up. change the rear bearing. had the tires mounted. then go to a shop to borrow a 14mm allen. they didnt have it, but the one across the road might. i cross the road. BANG GRRRRSH. right away i knew what happened :oops: :censored:

mom brought me a gallon of oil. i got some steel putty. bandaged it up and drove the 1 mile home. took the oil pan off the passat my dad has sitting around. dog gone german engineers. they put like 7 of the little bolts behind the sway bar so you have to take it off. i had to do that on both cars :(

damage cost- $15 and 4 hours
