Like I say, these engines had a problem with the timing chains wearing out which will cause the P0345 code, and the engine will make noise at startup, (the noise is probably the chain).
P0345 - Camshaft Position Sensor "A" Circuit (Bank 2)
P0308 - Cylinder 8 Misfire Detected
P0316 - Misfire Detected on Startup (First 1000 Revolutions)
You can recheck cylinder #8 spark plug and ignition coil which can go out as well. With these engines you must change the oil on time, or the timing chains wear out. I have seen the roller followers fall apart as well; can you upload a short video of the noise so I can hear it? You can upload it here with your response.
