Don't panic! It could be something no so major.
I had some weird noise from my engine 2 years ago
and I was afraid that it could be the timing chain
and would cost me some big expenses.
But lucky enough, It wasn't.
So before you taking anything off,
just get a proper tool and try to exactly locate
the source of that noise first.
I used STETHOSCOPE (paid around under $10) to pinpoint
the source of the noise with good result.
It turned out that my alternator was going bad.
