If the rattling ticking slapping sound is coming from the very front of your engine (or the side that has the belts on it) and gets louder or faster when you rev the engine, chances are you have a loose timing chain. Not all cars have a timing chain, but lots of them do. If you catch a loose timing chain early, you can fix it before things get ugly. A broken timing chain can lead to serious engine damage, so if you suspect your timing chain is going bad, don't hesitate to get it looked at.If you're hearing just the ticks with no rattles or slaps, it could be your lifters hollering at you, so check that out, too.

Nice.

RB ' s don't have timing chains.

Anyway spam sucks and so do you.

Is the CAS hot? they make strange noises when the bearings go in them as well.

Is it more noticeable on the exhaust side? Cant rule out exhaust leak.

Remove oil cap and have a listen
