Sounds like the chain is a bit loose, you might be missing the lower chain guide bolt if your tensioner is fine. Time to pull off the valve cover and have a looksee.

Sorry I had to post twice and separate a few things this is the only way I could post without it getting deleted.
Yes you are correct and also the bolt can break too.
I think mongrat
Is the name of a member on here who has a fix if you have a broken bolt. But I would only do this is temporary fix.

But like I said it is temporary and would look into this, esp if you need to get in there change a broken guide anyways this will avoid future issues. VV

Update: I changed my tensioner and all went well. At first it sounded the same but I just drove my car again. My noise actually got a lot quieter which is great.
I would want to replace all chains and guides but I'd really rather wait, the car only has 58k and it is stock

The guide breaks because the tensioner isn't doing its job well. The bolt typically breaks because it was over torqued and snaps. There is a good permanent fix for it with the large bolt that mongorat makes now. The other alternative is to get the sheered bolt extracted and put in the ARP bolts which are 12.9 bolts.

Yeah there's definitely a Spring. Mine came set so I had to take it apart.
