Did you get the sound through the full rpm range (or at least the range you went through)?

Another source for weird noises could be as simple as loose engine tin. If I remember mine correctly, it was really loud and scary on acceleration, but not as mechanical as cards in the sprockets.

Someone coined the phrase "dragging a chain in a trash can" - which is perfect, there's no mistaking it...
