research timing chain tensioner. The following is a link to the replacement part. It sounds like a flapping card in bicycle spokes when its bad. You will only hear it when starting the car.

I'm guessing if it is worn enough to be making noises, then it might fail, causing catastrophic damage?

after how many miles on the car you have to do it?
MLK: were you able to talk to marcucci about this?

yeah, I actually took it over on Monday, and I highly recommend him (Marcucci). He's a personable guy with lots of experience that he's willing to share, and he also beat the dealer's price by a good margin. He responded very quickly to my PM's, so give him a shout.
as for mileage, I had my first one at 102,000 and i now notice a lot less noise coming from under the hood, a smoother idle (less vibration), and a little better midrange (we also changed the plugs while we had it open)...it hasn't run this good since I bought it...and that's no lie.
