How about a rattling timing chain? Have a look at the timing chain tensioner (Practically on top of the waterpump, under the AC bracket...facing the chain), if it's a large flat bolt head, it's an old style spring loaded unit & replacing it w/the new style ratcheting type (much taller, w/a small bolt in the middle) will correct the problem. The
Scantech (OE in most cases) tensioner I got from Eeuro was an instant fix for me. (85' 900t) Be sure to get the proper install procedure before proceding...typically there's a tiny pin that has to be removed before installing the new style tensioner, but once you pull it, the little "foot" that contacts the chain slider shoots out. I removed the small bolt 1st to keep the "foot" from ratcheting all the way out, then removed the tiny pin, then screwed the tensioner in, then reinserted the small bolt - done. The most time consuming part is removing the AC bracket.
