Believe me I have been up and down and around on finding this noise. It is not timing for sure. Sometimes it will make itself heard as soon as the starter is released which leads one to believe the starter drive has not completely disengaged. It is not a grinding sound. Other times it is fine but I have noticed that by making the engine work hard I can make this noise come to life and then by backing off it will go away. The only thing I have not done is pull the starter and try running it. Thought about it but have not tried it yet. I have swapped starters out on another engine and the starters seem to work fine on the other car. No noise.
