how do I know if I have timing chain issues?
The car rattles/knocks at start up in the morning and goes away after maybe a minute.
The noise doesnt really sound like clicking(lifters) or exhaust leak, Its more like something wiggling and slapping metal.
Before I take it somewhere and pay money, is there anything else I can do to check it my self? Are there any other symptoms normally?

u can check the timing very easy your self.
buy these alignment tools.
and put them in place and see how much your timing is off.
