A rattling or slapping noise from the front of the engine, especially at startup, can mean the chain has slack, and a worn tensioner is one possible cause. Chain, guide or sprocket wear can also be behind that noise, so with the engine off and cool, look for oil seepage around the timing cover before you replace the tensioner.
