i think the only smart thing to do is, take off the timing cover, and see whats going on down there

 

Absolutely - don't want to run it like that.

I'm notoriously bad at identifying sounds in video clips (!) but it reminds me of the sound of a broken chain tensioner blade.

well ill see how much time i have this weekend to work on the cat, i also brew my own beer as well, and is in need of being bottled

 

We can help you with the beer issue so that you can concentrate on the cat!

 

ive got to bottle a batch of English Brown Ale, and start a batch of Irish Red Ale

 

Sounds bad. U can actually see the chain jerk when u hear the pop.

 

Do you think is a tensioner issue, or maybe even that vvt gear?

 

Jag Tech's what do you think?

 

If the chain and the gear wheel aren't damaged I'd bet on the tensioner. A properly tight chain wouldn't jerk or jump.
