if it is a clicking noise it could be the timing chain guides. most guys remove them anyways

timing chain guides are plastic guides in the timing chain cover that sort of keep the the chain lined up to the sprokets. alot of times they break(like all plastics) and end up at the bottom of the timing chain cover.almost everybody i've talked to has them removed when they do a re and re on their timing chain.
