Timing Chain Problems?

I'm looking for anyone's personal experience or helpful info on the following. I have a 94 900S 2.3L with what appears to be noise coming from the timing chain area of the engine. I've had the car over 3 yrs. and it has 140K. The noise appeared 2 or 3 months ago. I'm an experienced mechanic and I just want any helpful info before I tear into the engine compartment trying to fix the problem. I've taken the accessory belt off and started the engine to narrow down the noise and it sounds the same. I've also listened around and under the car while it runs to pinpoint location and am pretty certain it is timing chain related. It sounds like a rythmic rattley noise that starts rather loud while the engine is cold and then settles a bit as it heats up. The idle is mildly rough also, but no affects seem evident at speed. Has anyone had this problem?
By the way, compression test came out great. Engine runs very strong.
thanks
Ben
