a loose cam chain noise is a metallic rattle and slap. a fubar big end is a metallic crack and knock hence the name "big end knock".

by and large the SV engine is pretty bullet proof and there are three things that kill them. number 1 is low oil, second up is wheeling them (this starves the oil pump of oil), third is overly long oil service intervals.
