I've been getting this clacking noise at idle lately, and after taking it to a couple different mechanics I've some different opinions about the noise. I doesn't do it constantly so it was hard to get anybody to believe me at first, but one guy i know got to hear it, and seems to think it is lifter near the drivers side and said he could replace the lifters. Now, is there any point only fixing just the lifters as opposed to a complete valve job? Seems a little iffy to me, but i could be wrong. He even offered to do only the one side that is really noisy. Also, around here I've been told that timing chain noise could be the problem as well. Would the timing chain noise be obvious? Trying to figure out what to do. May you could listen to my clip of the noise here.......
