Davidf is on a distinguished road
Checking pan and/or oil filter for debris is a good indication of guide failure. What engine are you talking about? When the guides failed on the V8 in my 740iL, it made a horrible racket that was unmistakable for what it was. Definitely more than a "knock". The chain hitting/rub on side of front timing cover left evidence of shiny aluminum in filter housing. I6 may behave differently.
