Bullshit. The timing chain can be loud at startup because its taking up slack. Ever heard a Ka that is first showing signs of tc problems? Turn on, clack clack clack for a while and then quietens down. Eventually it will be at the rest of the rpm range.

My g20 had a high port 20de in it with the previous owner and before he swapped the motor it needed a tc replacement and did the same thing.

Im sure the lifters are nasty too though but I dont want him to think it may be a 100% easy fix.
