It could be a number of things I guess. Your best bet would be to record the sound and post it up on youtube for others to listen to.

Cheers,
Steve

That does not sound good :(

It certainly sound like it coming from the motor, maybe from the timing chain tensioner(?)

When hear how the chain tensioner snaps back in this alloytec (LY7) when being turned by hand, sounds similar to yours (though not a loud nor as frequent)
YouTube - ‪LY7 (cadillac CTS) timing problems‬‏

Hard to diagnose online so I may very well be wrong

Please keep us posted regardless

Kindest Regards,
Steve
