I would check the "rubber" pad in the valve cover above the timing chain. These get hard, and especially when cold, do not damp the noise. The part is called the upper chain guide and is easy to replace. It just slides under some tabs. If your valve cover hasn't been off in awhile, you might also consider a new set of valve cover seals.
