A worn guide can show up as a rattle from the front of the engine, a worn or cracked shoe, or extra slack in the chain. Those signs alone do not prove the guide is at fault, since a stretched chain can make a similar noise. During timing service, replace the chain, tensioners and sprockets along with the guides.
