Just got back into the game
Just purchased a 1985 928s 5 speed!! Got it delived to me from Cali to DFW, was told everything was good etc, etc... Well when i run the car I hear the chain rattling from the left passeger side cam area! Sounds to me I have to replace the cam tensioner?? Need tech advice, do i have to undo chain if repacing tensioner? Any pictures threads in the subject would be greatly appreciated. Just moved to DFW, anybody know a good 928 mechanic?

Dan, I've had Eurosport work on both my 928 and 944. No complaints (except for the bill). Located at Coit & G Bush Tollway. Not too far south?

Well when i run the car I hear the chain rattling from the left passenger side cam area
it has a belt.
Maybe you could find some knowledgeable 928 owner living near you who could help you with the diagnosis?
What could sound like a chain? An injector maybe or a lifter?

If that is what you hear, it is not an expensive fix, but it will take some labor, but don't drive it til you know! Just a suggestion: nitpick "Left passenger side" could be confusing. on a US model the passenger is the right side of the car, as sitting in driver seat facing forward, use front/back to avoid the confusion of "left/right". If by "left passenger side you mean passenger side near firewall, then it may not be the chain. Picture in Section 15-120, the chain is near center. You might need a stethoscope to ascertain the location of this sound.
