^^ Not to hijack the OP's thread, but if it sounds like the clip, the Timing Chain Tensioner (aka TCT) needs to be replaced. It is very easy to do and takes about 15min, but does require the right tools. The part costs less than $150 from the dealer.

Get a recommendation for a reputable shop in your area from your regional s2ki forum. The dealer is likely to over charge you for that work.
