Thank you every one for all helpful answers!!! (I thought I subscribed to eamil notifications of answers but no).
I forgot to add a very important factor that: apart from being tilted on a tilt truck makes the noise go away for some 30 minutes, the noise starts out quiet when I first start the car, and get worse as the car heats up after say 10 minutes of driving.
1. Would these factors eliminate a timing chain problem?
2. How much in US/Australia to fix timing chain problem?
3. Is fixing timing chain an engine out job?
And to answer your concerns: I bought the car ~$10K cheaper than market price from a very nice old man as a private sale, and also felt in love with it the first time I drove so there's an emotional bond I think
that I will try and keep it
Also as being advised I will start a new thread on the Bosxter Forum for this too.
Thank you very much again to everyone and hope you are well.
Kind Regards,
