Hi,
I'm picking up my new motor next week and its got a timing chain instead of a timing belt.
I've read that these can sound different when driving compared to a belt setup.
Should I hear any different sounds.
It's a 2.2 Astra Coupe BTW if that makes any difference.

Probably not as most other things on the engine will make more noise.
You might get a slight clatter at a cold start until the hydraulic tensioner starts to operate, but this is normal and nothing to worry about.
