Could be an exhaust leak...


Could be timing chain, valves etc.

IF somebody didn't strip the exaust manifold bolts (way too commonly they have), then it's a pretty quick/easy/cheap job to replace the exhaust manifold gasket, if that's where it's leaking. Exhaust leaks (especially at the manifold) are usually pretty loud.
