The same sound could also be caused by a leaky check valve in a chain tensioner. Try to identify the source as from the left or right bank. The retainer for the check ball could be loose. If so, the tensioner can be repaired rather then replaced.
Thanks Mark. I?ll take a closer listen to it and see which side it is coming from. Does the engine have to come out to repair or replace a tensioner?
