If you have not replaced the upper chain guide on the underside of the valve cover, then a lot of the noise you hear may be from contact of the chain on the guide, which gets hard as a rock over time from exposure to heat, just like the valve cover. Mine was so hard and brittle when I changed it that it broke in half when I pried it off. If you are hearing a progressively louder rattling sound as time goes on, try replacing the upper chain guide, it should help.
