timing tensioner......but you won't know till it starts rattlin'

I have a late 98 as well....It's loud, can hear it at traffic speeds in the lower gears--it's actually getting louder.<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by IXLR8:
Yeah... so far I haven't heard a peep from the tensioner... It's probably waiting until 36,001. How loud is it btw? Do you have to pop the hood or is it so bad you can actually hear it in the driver's seat?
I'm wondering if I'll escape that problem because my Prelude was made later in 98. #15613...</font>
