Had a loud clattering sound on my M103 that I thought to be a bad timing chain tensioner. The problem surfaced suddenly one day. Had the 300E towed to mechanic. Turned out to be a bad fan clutch. Indy replaced fan clutch, bearing bracket, and related parts. Problem solved.

Still replaced the chain tensioner for good measure / insurance.
