Sounds to me like the noise is from a bad timing chain guide.

Digital clusters always have problems. May be a bad capacitor in the unit.
It is a 91 240 coupe with a ka24de with 201k miles in it.

Would it still run ok with a bad timing chain guide? I drove it around the block and it seams to have plenty of low rpm power. I did not take it much over 2k rpm since the sporadic noise has me a little worried. How much of a pita is it to relace the timing chain, guides, and tensioner with the motor in the car?
