[V8] Engine Noise?

[dsaad at icehouse.net]

FWIW, I was absolutly convinced mine was the right timing chain also. The noise
radiates up through the valve train somehow. Unfortunately, to replace the
timing chain ( a fairly cheap part) you have to remove the timing belt - so once
again, if you are already in there just replace the oil pump bearing.
