Yes they do have a timing chain, rattle could be that, not that hard to change.
Also if the rattle is at idle and tends to quieten down when the engine is warm it could also be gudgeon pins worn. The big question is how many kilometers has it done and has it had a hard life.
Is the rattle from the top of the motor or front or sound low down.
All these things will determin the problem.
Most likely timing chain. Easiest solution is a brand new motor, under $1200 just shop around from import places.
