Okay this was a long time ago but I can't forget the noise it made. It was a hollow knock that you could hear intermittently. The kind of noise when you suck your tongue of the roof of your mouth ;-) You would hear it during RPM reduction. I guess a little chain slack that let the cam pulley walk to and knock on the block and make a cluck/knock noise.

I don't remember see any chain scraping or tapping evidence in the front inside of the timing cover case. Definitely no scraping noise from the chain.
