RE: engine clank
You can replace the camchain and tensioner , and the bearing in the stator at home - just need a set of allan keys, a set of ringflat spanners, a torque wrench, and the spares. If you use a Honda camchain, you have to remove the engine, but if, like us, you use a chain like the DID or similar chains, which have a master link, it's fairly easy, and will take you about 1 day for the lot, if you're methodical, and have a basic knowledge of how engines work.
Search the site for the How To on Camchain replacement - good articles from a number of members. I have pictures on all the above if you need them.

how do you check to see if the cct if its bad?

You can remove the rocker/ valve cover and physically check the chain for slack if you are keen and then decide , if you have quite a bit of noise , quite a few miles on it and the c/chain actually feels like it has slack in it ..
Its almost a sure bet that you need a chain and tensioner ..
Hs she got good fresh oil in her mate ?
They are operated by oil and spring..... if the oil is a little dead , that may make them rattle a bit too...
Mine for instance is a bit rattly at idle but only on and off ...
Sometimes shes quiet ..other times she has a little band of tinkle clangers playing ...
(don't ask !! )[:-]
I wont go into the type of noise because we did this in another thread that went 4 pages already...
I am swapping mine out very soon
