[K20ek1997]

Hi guys , just rebuilt my k20a2 with nippon racing pistons and scat rods, dual valve springs, new chain new tensioners new oil pump, everything new. Fired up on forst attempt and noticed a knocking noise comong from timing chain side. Removed timing chain cover to inspect and found timing chain marks on bottom of timing chain cover. ( timing chain was slapping onto the timing chain cover). Replaced timing chain and tensioner again tought tensioner went bad but noise still there. Any one had this issue before ?.
