Upon acceleration the engine is making a thumping/shuddering/pounding noise. It is hard to describe as I work on things usually myself, and haven't experienced this before. The check engine light isn't on, and no warning lights. Upon acceleration, the thumping starts low and spaced, and as I increase speed the sound becomes more pronounced and rapid. It seems to come from the top end, center right if facing engine.

sounds like the timing chain sliders are starting to give you trouble.
