On my 95 SE w/ 179K, still WAS running strong, just all of a sudden on starting, this "marble like" sound comes from the left side of the engine under the black dual cam shaft covers. There is a timing chain, but havent heard of mine breaking nor skipping the sprocket.......any ideas? Tensioner pulley??? The car wont start right over, but then finally will. At reving hight RPMS the sound goes away, just idleing, the sound is bad!!!
