very pricy to do this as you need to replace the chain, guides, pulleys and tensioner. the water pump is right there too and should be replaced. very labor intensive job.
it pays 8-9 hours plus all the parts.

RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 1999 Chrysler Concorde. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
Unfortunately the 2.7 V-6 has some serious oiling problems. In fact there is a class action law suit against Chrysler concerning this engine. Roy is correct this job is only to be done by an experienced tech. After you get the noise fixed you need to go to a full synthetic oil. The 2.7 is known for sludging up, hence causing your engine noise.
It is not an inexpensive job.
mechanic tells me that it is making a noise and could soon break ;major engine problem could result
