hi saintz
appears to b coming from rocker cover area at front noise is a clack clack hard to describe my self & mec. are thinking t/chain going to pull r/covers off & check chain/ guides ect. not a lot of e55 in australia & cannot find out if t/chain can b rolled on as in many other engines.

Generally the M113's clack sounds are provided by the valve lifters.. you can replace the timing chain (120 k on it need to change) but if the sound still in your engine you can replace your 24 small lifters & solve this issue

Did you measure how much stretch you had in your chain?
Most of the time a new tensioner/spring will take that 5 hit chain clack out on cold start. Good job rolling the new one in, did you use a lock clip or peen the master link closed?

I used to hear the same noise, it appears to be coming from the valves cover on both sides.
I solved my issue By changing the oil, it was old and the car was garaged for 4 months.
Good luck,
