There has been a lot of comments on them not being centered on the Timing Chain.
I cannot recall anyone saying it was either good or bad.
The back of the Timing Chain Tensioner Rail appears to be cast Aluminum and it is not likely to make a tinking type of rattle due to the material it is made of.
You can get a Mechanics Stethoscope cheap at Harbor Freight or you can use something like My favorite; a cut off piece of Wooden Broom Stick.
Put you Ear on one end and the other; watching for moving parts on the Part you want to listen to.
I have a Mechchanics Stethoscope; it fell out of favor with Me bacause you sometimes have to get your Head too close to stuff. One time it resulted in me burning my Cheek on an Exhaust Pipe.
Since then using 3 foot Broom Stick keeps me at a distance from stuff.
