Timing Chain Tensioner? You'll probably get a bit more help in the tech forums... but the tensioner is a very frequent problem.

if it is, it might be the TCT.

if its the TCT take out the worm gear sand blast it and reinstall

Consider buying one straight-up from billman250 on the boards. He is a top-notch, and well-respected mechanic on our boards (member/owner in the NYC area). Bill re-tools the same worm gear with a better tensioner spring. It is an easy swap/fix part. PM him .

PS. Please appreciate that folks here are recommending you change the TCT simply based on your description of "... loud springing sound coming from my engine when i idle...". Without a proper mechanical diagnosis, please understand that it *could* always be something else. However, the TCT can often be the culprit of such described engine sounds. Here is a thread with all the TCT info (questions by owners...answers by Billman250) that you might ever want to know
