Default I think my stock mill is going!

Well i think all my questions have been answered to all my post about power issues with the mustang. as of yesterday and hear a faint (but loud enough to hear while driving) rattling noise from the front of the engine. it starts after about 5 minutes of driving and sounds like a chain rattling. i think that it could possibly be a pully but i dont know if a pulley would make that kind of noise. im thinkin my timing chain stretched or one of the tensioners broke. its only got 62K, and i havent heard of this being a common problem, but i'll pull the valve covers this weekend and check all the pulleys. any suggestions on what the noise could be?

I would guess a timing chain tensioner... Have had an issue with that in the past.

Yeah I'm guessing a tensioner also. Shouldn't be to expensive too repair.
