The only chain inside an engine is the timing chain, as your car has a timing belt I suggest you take it to a garage that knows what they are doing.

Hi toureman
as i stated it dose not hav a timing chain as the car hads a timing belt i was wondering coud it be bearing on a componet which is driven by the drive belt i.e power stearing or the water pump if it's one of them how do confirm which one it is? because short time ago my drive belt broke ever since a new belt it has started making the noise i'v had the belt auto tenshioner replaced.
