Timing chain rattle is extremely common with our cars, just do a few searches here on Zilvia and you'll find all the info you'll need to replace the upper and lower chains, guides and tensioners.

He has a zenki (sohc), so there isn't a top guide.
All you have to do is take off the valve cover (dont have to remove anything else). You can *try* to eyeball it and see if the guides are possibly worn down. Also push the chain to see if you have a lot of slack.
