I'd trust 2 shops to work on my car, my dealer here in Caldwell and the Dealer that Shawn works at.

ok haha been there in my motor seen that i highly highly highly doubt the nylon is gone on your guides but what might be happening is your chain tensioner might have gone bad causing the guide not to hold the chain tight leaving slack for it to knock around now i highly reccomend you dont let a dealer tell you this without a secong opinion or at least until i hear it...
