Hey gang. Need help identifying a noise on the old Exped. 1998 4.6 4x4, has about 276k miles. Its a clanging noise that doesn't seem to go away. At first I thought maybe something inside one of the cats had broke loose, because I've had that happen, but this is coming from much further up front.

I'm wondering if its timing chain related. Does not sound like its dragging on plastic, but maybe one of the guides broke and its clanging around? I had all of the chains, tensioners, guides, etc replaced about 10 years and 100k miles ago during a head gasket fix. No codes and truck runs fine otherwise.
Any ideas? Thanks!
