Rattling noise on deceleration?

[albersj51]

Hi Everyone,

I noticed in my 67 SIIA when I take my foot of the gas and slowing down I get a rapid rattling noise...almost sounds like a rattling chain. Could this be the freewheeling hubs? If not, any other ideas? It's hard to pin point where it's coming from, but i'm pretty sure it's coming from somewhere in the engine bay. Thanks for your help!

timing chain getting loose or the tensioner is frozen, perhaps.

thanks Nium! If it's just loose, just tighten up on the tensioner?

Any other opinions on this?
