The car has 270K+ miles and running. I do not have any prior history prior to purchase. I can only assume that the I still have the original timing chain and tensioner.

When I start the car, it takes about 2-3 seconds for the oil pressure gauge to reach 3 bars and I use Knecht oil filters. Today, I could hear the rattle noise faintly until the oil pressure builds up. Anything else, I can do to remedy the situation besides checking the guides and replacing the seals if necessary.
