04 maxima bad noise

Hey guys. Ive had my maxima for a couple years, nothing but a headache to be honest

. Please watch this video to help me diagnose this latest issue. It sounds like the timing chain but I replaced that 30k ago at 100k miles.. this is on a cold start and sometimes lasts as long as 15 minutes

I just replaced that less than 30 thousand miles ago! Is that possible?

that sounds like a broken guide or loose tensioner as previously mentioned.
