Hi all.

I've just come across a thread about the timing chain where it's said that it should be replaced when rattling sound is heard.
My engine has around 190.000km ~ 120.000miles (or so I was told when I got it). I've always noticed a sort of metallic click that seems to come from the engine and my indy says it sounds about right. I've been around other DSEs and they certainly don't make that sound. I know it's difficult but can someone elaborate on what type of sound should I be looking for ?

Also, I suppose that if the chain goes, I'll be into a lot of (financial) hurt ?

Mine is on 108,000 miles and i will be changing mine in the summer.
