VE Calais 2009
My nephew has gone an purchased a VE Calais 2009 3.6L SIDI without the help of a mechanic

Engine is Noisy (See/hear in video - link below)
Engine light is not on and no fault codes on diagnostics
no evidence of sludge when taking oil cap off

Timing Chain was replaced by previous owner 6 months ago (3,000Kms ago) + $1900 all up in repairs + service

A local mechanic has made a general statement that either the Oil pump is on its way out or Issue with camshaft Actuator however gave us no certainty and wants $1500 to strip the front part of the engine + see if Oil pickup is blocked

If anyone has experienced it and knows what the issue was, it would be appreciated

Thanks in Advance!
