> did you take out the valve cover by any chance? I remember that the upper timing chain guide was in pieces on someone’s KA when we took out the valve cover… it had a horrible rattling sound.

Removed the valve cover. The upper chain guide had been taken off already.  
All of the valve train gear was fully intact.  
Did a compression test. 155 150 145 150 So doesn’t look like there are any bent vlaves from the over rev.  
Did a basic stethascope check. Noise is coming from the lower end, rear of the engine.  
The beat of the noise doesn’t coincide directly with the RPMs.

I had a family gathering tonight that went longer than I thought, but tomorrow it will be ripped apart.

I’ll keep ya’ll updated
