But i would say at start up it sounds like a timing chain hitting against the engine housing. And the later noise also remind me of a chain with too much slack hitting something. Did you test the timing of the engine?

The other thing, i could imagine, is that this is caused by ignition that is has a faulty insulation. But this noise would be much more rhythmic.
I have not checked timing. That requires durametric software right? Car does not have any check engine lights.

I saw a used Durametric on Rennlist fairly cheap a couple of days ago, these tools will pay for themselves fairly quick.. :-)
