Hello - I have the cold-start rattle on my new-to-me 2009 Accord with a K24. I was planning to replace tensioner and intake VTC actuator. In the process, I'm not sure what to think of my tensioner positioning here. Is this indicating that my chain is stretched, maybe the tensioner is all the way out? It's a weird position for the pin/lock to be in and doesn't seem to be moving much when I rotate the engine.
