LOL, that was due to the VTC's. The springs would get weak and clatter like hell when they were first started up. I have seen several that were rebuilt incorrectly. The tensioners and chain guides could of had issues also. The engine had 3 different chains and tensioners on it. It was about a 12hr job to go through the chain set and VTC's. The job had to be perfect the first time.
