Re: Engine Pics - Inside 2003 2.5L Xtrail Ti-L ~200k
All the oil in your runners and the caked on carbon of that burnt oil is the reason why some of us have fitted a catch-can to our PCV line.

Re: Engine Pics - Inside 2003 2.5L Xtrail Ti-L ~200k
The rattle could be from the timing chain due to the standard oil being too thin for our older engines.
I changed from the standard Castrol Edge 5W-30 to Penrite HPR5 synthetic 5W-40. The higher 40 rating makes the oil not so thin at higher operating temps and keeps the pressure to the hydraulic timing chain tensioner, which stops the rattles of the chain at higher revs.
Check your timing chain runners to make sure they are not worn or loose if you have been getting lots of rattling.

Re:
You should replace the tensioner full stop when doing work like this anyway.
PS: Don't let the chain slip off the gear.

Re:
In regards to the timing chain have a look at this thread.
In this thread a fellow member Scott (Evorock) has completely stripped and re built his T30 engine.
There are plenty of pics.
On page 2 you will see what I was talking about the timing gear marks in my PM.
