Hi
I just singed up looking for some answers & came upon this one , Well I'm doing a timing chain on a 1999 Altima (same engine!!!!!) it came to me with the same noise, When I inspected found the lower guide was GONE,witch led to bigger problems W/the main & rod bearings from all the chewed up guide.. So I would say it timing chain related(guides & ??)If that is your problem be warned that the chain might be the least of your conserns. As for cost, It a flag time of appx. 12 hours X labor rate plus I payed $252. for the kit
