kae24 died on me , overheated, something is tapping pretty bad. I pulled the engine out the other day and the lh timing chain guide is gone only things left are the two internal wrenching bolts and and sheared brackets for the guide top/bottom. It had to to somewhere right , how bout all in the engine, espically oil pan. Its very ugly down there metal shavings everywhere, 1/4 pieces in the head.

haha, yep, once the rattle begins, you have a max of 2 months left before the timing chain finally breaks loose. guide is most likely in the oil pan.
