SEARCH SEARCH SEARCH SEARCH SEARCHThis has been discussed sooo many times.
Anyhow, your timing chain noise isn't rare; actually, it plagues almost all ka24des. The soud you're hearing is your chain smack up against the upper chain guide/lower chain guide. Simply take the valve cover off/front sprocket cover (well, that's not soo easy), and remove the guides; the top one was omitted in 96-98 ka's, and many people have taken out the side one, no problem
If you don't feel like taking off the front sprocket cover, just take out the top one...Inspect your timing chain while you're at it; I just replaced my upper timing chain/tensioner a few weeks back...
Someone did a write-up on this in detail, search for it.
