Hi,

I recently had the timing chain replaced in my 02 Galant. After the procedure was complete I noticed that my car is much louder than ever before at highway speeds (almost like it has a racing muffler!!!). There's also a slight jerk when coasting downhill. Could these be signs that the timing chain is too tight?


Thanks for your help!

it sounds like your timing is a little advanced.

is this hard to correct and would u recommend me doing it myself or taking it to a repaire shop?

waitaminute,

i thought those vehicles came w/ a timing BELT???

if you have the 4 cylinder engine, you have an interference engine

if you have the v6, you don't have interference

nevertheless, go back to the shop who installed your belt to let them re-check their work
