Rob, it can be done with engine in car, as several, including myself have posted their experiences on this forum over the years. What you need to do first, it measure the slack in chain, by removing the timing chain tensioner, and measuring how far the tip has protruded. There are parameters in that measurement that determine the shape of the chain, though surely a loose chain will make a distinctive noise. Remember, there is also your balance shaft chain, which will probably be in the same shape as the timing chain. I removed mine altogether. Another source of some of the noise is a worn guide in the cam cover, easily replaced. And do you have an oil starvation issue on top and side of motor, cause by clogged pickup? Lots of things to consider, and you can surely learn a lot by searching on forum. Good luck, and regards, Tom S.
