Hi Vern,
Thank you for the donation.
The noise could be caused by the timing chain but it could also be due to others malfunctions. When timing chains are worn, the engine would tend to rattle for a short period of time at initial start up from cold or whe engine has been stopped for a short period of time.
Book time for timing chain replacement is about 11 hours and it requires the cylinder head to be removed.
Parts should cost between $350 to $ 500 depending on what needs to be replaced.
