I'll try again. My '66 Sprite enigne is making a high pitched tinkling noise 
on over run. It sounds a litle like engine ping, I can't hear it under 
accelleration or at speed, probably because of the exhaust noise, but is easy 
to hear after letting off the gas. 
It's doesn't sound like small end or big end rod knock, is the same speed and 
frequency as valve train noise. Can someone help me out on whether this 
sounds like a bad Timing chain? or maybe a valve guide? Any other 
suggestions? Thanks for the help.
