Engine clicking noise

I have a 2004 9-5 Arc (355,000 Km) that makes a scraping noise on startup then turns into a fairly loud continuous clicking noise. On engine shutdown the scraping noise occurs again. I thought it may be a warn out pulley or belt tensioner so I took the serpentine belt off and started the engine and the noise is still there. So now I'm thinking worn out timing or balance chain guides. I rolled in a new timing chain 2 years ago. Am I on the right track with this diagnosis? What else could produce this noise?
