Strange noise from engine bay
whenever cold starting my Max. I hear a rattling noise from the passenger side of engine compartment. when engine is hot the sound goes away. I spoke to a friend who thinks its something with my timing chain.
Anyone experience similar issue or could shed some light? Any and all suggestions will be highly appreciated.

Most likely this is your timing chain tensioner. If the noise goes away after the engine warms up, most likely it is harmless, but annoying all the same.
