Default Odd chain rattle...

Been reading Baph's thread about somebody's loose & noisy chain. Well, mine had these two problems last week so I adjusted the bejesus out of the thing, as you do and tightened up as required - reckon I've got about half inch or so of play. Problem is, I've still got the bloody awful rattle when under load. With clutch pulled in and free wheeling the noise disappears. AND it's a rhythmic sound the frequency of which increases with speed. I've given the front sprocket a good torching but couldn't see any obvious problems.

Opinions anyone?

Chain and sprockets are a little over a year old - 5k on them - scottoiler fitted.
