"A rattling timing chain is a symptom of an emminent failure."
I think that depends on the engine. In my 88 9kT my timing chain has been rattling for the last 60,000 miles/6 years. It is not real loud and hasn't gotten any worse. I understand that the 2.3L engines with the balance shaft chain are more susceptible to breakage - particularly the earlier models (91 ish I think).
