ok i loud clicking or ticking noise is coming from either the inside the timing chain enclosure or the thing to the left of that...i've noticed i can only hear it when the rpms are lower than 1000...also it is louder when the lights are on...i dont know what it is but my dads friend will hopefully fix it on sat. my question... is it safe to drive or will some damage be caused

 

It is helpful if you choose a meaningful Subject line when originating a thread. In this case Ticking sound near timing chain would convey more useful information than helpp!

It is important to identify the source of the noise. A four-foot length
of small diameter rubber vacuum hose will help you do this. You can buy
the hose in any auto parts store. They typically sell it in bulk for about
US$0.80 per foot. Start the engine and let it idle. Put one end of the
hose in your ear and the other end near any suspected source of noise.
The engine compartment presents a cacophony of sound. The benefit
of the hose is that it isolates the sound from one specific area. Work safely!
Avoid contact with any moving parts!

You may find it interesting to explore the sounds of your engine with this
inexpensive tool. Each moving part has its own characteristic sound. For
example, listen to the muted clicking of the fuel injectors. They should
all sound alike. If you find one with a different sound (or no sound at
all) you have found a problem.

The dealer's service department is equipped with high-tech diagnostic
instruments. These are wonderful devices but they are expensive and the
dealer has to recover his cost by charging you for diagnostic time.
Sometimes the home mechanic can do legitimate diagnostic work with
nothing more than a rubber tube.
