Hey all!When I rev my engine to about 2.5 - 3K I can hear some kind of metal sound in the head of it.My guess is the chain that connects the cams.Anyone knows if I might be right or tell me some info about that chain like :how to replace it and is there some mileage interval for when to replace it.Thanks!

That might be it. You can check it by removing valve cover. If you can feel any looseness in the chain, replace it.

You will only hear noise when it's idleing because when you rev it, it tightens up. I would look somewhere else...

Nah mine did the same thing and I pulled out the cams and the chain was streatched, and the teeth were worn bad on the gears you might want to consider replacing those also

before you do that though check the intake manifold there are 2 13mm bolts on the back of the head that hold a support bracket coming from intake manifold to the head if these are not there it has a tendenicy to rattle just like you described
