Also just an FYI, the V6 has a timing chain, the V8 has a timing belt.
I'm assuming the previous owner had the timing belt replaced(?), if so did he mention if the noise was there before the replacement, or only after?

Good idea, will do that tomorrow. Thanks!
Yes it is the belt (oops) that was replaced about 10k ago. He didn't say it happened because of that, I'm just guessing. It it did start happening a few months after the belt was replaced. Coincidence? Maybe, maybe not.
