alright, so i got a 04 cobra and i noticed a very strange and annoying noise, its hard to explain, its not a knock, rattle, whistle, or tick but more of a kind of clanking. it makes the noise at idle, it kinda fades away with rpms, and when i turn the car off it rattles down till the motor stops. I pulled blower belt off, noise still there, pulled inner belt, noise still there, the noise sounded like it was coming from the timing cover. I pulled the cover and noticed my timing chain was hanging down and my tensioner was shot, i was actually happy i saw that, i changed my tensioners to the metal ones, put it all back together and tada, freaking noise is still there :cuss: im going to drop my oil to see if theres any metal in it. im hoping there is none but im not sure whats going on.

im looking for some insights to what else i can look into with what else it could be.
