I don't think it sounds like a pulley but that's just me. It sounds more like somethings loose. But it sounds too slow to be a lifter.... How loud is it from outside? About the same?

Yeah it sounds loudest from the timing chain area, but wouldn't there be more symptoms if the timing chain was stretched? Just wondering.

A cheap mechanics stethoscope is what you need to pin point engine noises. My dad was a mechanical engineer and bought me tools for bdays and christmas, this was one of the first tools he gave me. 35 years later, I really need it now. Even a long piece of tubing/hose will work to. You can leave hose open, good for vac leaks, or put a bolt in the end and touch a part to hear it more cleanly.
