I installed upgraded tensioners in my 1999
and it made no perceptible difference in startup rattle. However, running a can and a half of Liqui Moy Moly 20004 Hyrdaulic Lifter additive in my oil made a huge difference. It turns out that the tiny oil passages that lubricate the lifters get clogged over time.
