I can only hear the noise on idle and im thinking it has something to do with timing chain or tensioner. Has anyone heard anything like this?

take your valve cover off and take a look at the upper timing chain guide its right between the cam gears above the chain, it could be all chewed up from who ever was beating the motor before you had the same issue on my old SR

i looked into where the chain sits and theres 2 guides in there one on the tesioner side and the other on the driver side,the one on the driver side seems a bit loose im just wondering if that could be making the noise i looks plastic but i wouldnt know i read somewhere that that guide can be removed on a ka i need opinions :)
and that guide is right under the cas, i took the cas out and it looks fine with normal wear

Op, have you fixed the problem yet? My sr is making same annoying sound. Swap out my cas, removed upper guide and took out my ps belt. It must be them chain guides.

Lmk how it goes! Do u happen to also have a clicking sound (coming from chain area also) when ever u redline it? Mine does it for couple times whenever i shift past 6k rpm or so then goes away.
