A rattle from the front of the engine, a check engine light or rough running can mean timing-drive wear, but other faults cause the same signs. Before replacing the kit, and with the engine off and cool, look for oil leaks at the front of the engine and for bits of plastic in drained oil; a shop can run any test that needs the engine on.
