The cam chain guide bolt may loosen due to the presence of a rubber coating on the surface of the guide in the area where the bolt seats. If the bolt becomes loose, the engine will develop a ticking noise. Continued vehicle operation with a loose guide bolt may result in breakage of the bolt and increased engine noise.
Remedy: Dealer will install a cam chain guide kit to prevent loosening of the guide bolt.
