>From you description of the sound... I would say that's EXACTLY how my
truck sounded before I got the timing chain tensioner in it. 97 sport
4x4 3.9l. Also, I've noticed what sounds to be quite a bit of
valve/lifter noise, but that's not related.

What could be causing my V6 to clatter so much it sounds like a diesel
engine? The engine has 84K miles on it, the timing chain only 3k. All
of
the noise seems to come from the passenger side head. Valves maybe, or
valvesprings? Its finally loud enough that my girl notices it :(
Any help would be appreciated. I'll be able to take things apart and
look at things in a couple weeks.
