Does a timing chain that needs to be replaced make a specific noise?
I have a new noise that can best be described as metal hitting a hollow, thick aluminum. It can be heard best while idling or in 2nd gear (manual trans). Seems to be louder when the engine is pushing hard, like accelerating or starting from being stopped. Kinda sounds like a chain being drug over a heat shield or bell housing? (not that I have ever taken apart a transmission, but if I had to guess what that sounded like...)

haven't done the timing chain or clutch/fly wheel yet... yeah I know, need to.
Or, what does a cracked manifold sound like?
(It's always something with my X lol)
