Ray, Mike, and others were right. I removed the "guide" and took a
look at it. I could see faint grooves where the chain was wearing into
the metal. Re-assembled everything w/o the guide and fired it up. The
noise is gone and the car seems to be running fine. Free-revved it up
to redline a couple times and nothing exploded :-). I'll be setting my
timing later today and taking it for a test drive.
Thanks to all for helping me fix what was quoted as a $900 problem.
