Description of the problem	The timing chain has come loose due to the failure of a timing chain guide inside the motor. The plastic or rubber piece attached to the aluminum guide becomes separated from the base and falls down below the guide causing the timing chain to loose tension and rattle against the aluminum timing cover. This loosening of the timing chain causes the chain to rattle against the timing cover which could wear a hole or cause timing chain failure, could even cause the loose chain to jump a sprocket tooth a cause the engine to malfunction due to valves hitting the tops of the piston and causing bent valves and engine shut down.
