So this leads me to ask, since it is something I did not read, will the VANOS make noise before the other symptoms appear?

I am gonna check the tensioners this weekend along with my other activities.

Thanks much for you input!
I recall only really having the rattle although I was already supercharged and having tune issues so the other symptoms may have been present and just didn't notice them.
The Vanos overhaul certainly got rid of the marbles.
