[TR] timing chain noise?

[Chip19474 at aol.com]

Gary,
 
I can't remember ever distinctly hearing the timing chain on a new  
engine......"old" engines can be another story as the tensioner gets groves in  it. 
 Since it is a fresh engine, any chance that you're hearing a dry  bushing 
water pump or an alternator or drive belt squeal?

It's a  nice sound, kind of a steely whir
