the car was not maintained well as far as oil service. if you have balance chain noise it could be the sprockets are going and this is a high knowledge repair to replace these for the DIYer. I would also wonder about the cam chain and tensioner. I would really wonder about your diagnosis at this point. If the lifters are also noisy why not try changing the oil and filter first and run a few hundred miles (250-400) and change oil again (a good grade of fossil 10W30) see if that doesn't quiet things down before you tear into the engine. Also you should get another opinion before you do something serious.
