Alright lets see if i can explain the problem i am having since i am not a mechanic but have started working on my own things since i bought my 1991 camaro 9 months ago.. alright the problem is when i rev up the engine and its coming down its making a clanking sound wish i could put an audio clip on here so ya can hear it. anyway a car saving friend at work says he thinks its the timing chain.. anyone here have any advice for the newbie..lol thanks in advance

 

impossible to diagnose with just a description, but I'm doubting a timing chain...if they are that loose you will have issues related to poor timing.

 

Is it winding sound or a clanking? I have an almost ticking sound, but its just my lifters. if its a winding sound could be somthing else. I had a winding sound and it turned out i needed a new water pump.

 

its more of a clanking sound, its not lagging in acceleration anymore since i finally got the chance to change the spark plugs.
