if the timing chain is making noise ..change it out.

look around when you have it apart but it will probably turn out to be the chain and tensioner..

the valve train play is determined by the t- chain..

the t-chain is out of tolerance ..either due to wear or the t-chain guides being gone..

replace the t-chain and guides and the noise will go away...
