My maxima just started making a new noise today and its got me freaking out idk if its lifters or timing chain it is for sure something in the valvetrain. With it in park if i rev it up as soon as the rpms start to fall it starts making the noise. I can try and post a video when i get the chance but has anyone had this noise im discribing and know what it is?? 97 Gle with 207k thanks!

Where's it coming from?

Passenger side/timing cover side?

Rear bank side?

If so ... timing chain tensioner.

I'm working this issue myself at this very moment.
