Hey everyone. I got the car listed above and I have been driving it for two years without any problems in tell now. My serpentine belt was starting to squeal, drove it for a couple days planning on fixing it that next weekend. Couple days before the weekend I heard a loud enough rattling noise to know not to drive it. Thinking it was possibly a loose tension-er for my serpentine belt I removed the belt and started the car again. Unfortunately the noise still persisted! Cannot quite pin point it down to a specific problem. The noise is coming from the front camshaft/timing chain toward the front of the engine. Pulled the three front spark plugs out as well to test if that would make a difference but the noise still persisted. Here is a link I uploaded of how my car currently sounds:

My guess so far is a possible timing chain tension-er or a connecting rod. The timing chain seems fairly tight though (has a small amount of play). If you guys have any questions or if I left out any critical information let me know I will be more then happy to post as much information as possible.
If anyone can point me in the right direction on this problem I would be extremely grateful.
Thanks again for all the help!
