Timing chain noise is most commonly coming from a loose chain. The tensioner could be loose or broken or the chain could be stretched. If the chain slips or breaks before you fix it, then not only will the engine stop running but you could cause serious damage.
timing chain making a noise?
Sounds like a loose timing chain.
chain. if you hear a clattering noise the timing chain and timing chain tensioner need to be replaced they are usually sold as a kit
For longer life with less maintenance, the Sentra engine uses a timing chain instead of a cheaper, but quieter, timing belt. You don't notice the extra noise generated by the timing chain.

If you hear any noise from the chain it needs replacing.
It might not be the timing chain, check if the exhaust muffler has not come adrift.
It has a timing chain. The majority of 4 cylinders have a timing chain. You don't need to replace it unless it is making noise or the timing is significantly off.
unless there is noise coming from the timing chain, you should never need to replace it.
AnswerI think this engine uses a timing chain, but I am not 100% positive. Regardless, the noise you are hearing is either a timing chain that is loose or a belt. I would suspect that the timing chain is loose. Have this looked at ASAP.It could also be the timing tensioner also.
The Ford Taurus does not have a timing belt, it has a timing chain. The timing chain is designed to last the life of the engine, and does not need routine replacement.
no it has a timing chain,supposedly to cut down on valvetrain noise.
A timing chain normally will last as long as the engine. Signs of a failing timing chain are chain noise and or engine that continues to jump time.
