[Smell/power loss]

Anyone?

[Smell/power loss]

Hows it going. I own a 01 vr6 12 valve I noticed somethings going on lately. At higher rpms when I really get on it I noticed a burning smell kinda. It kinda smells like exhaust kinda a hot smell I guess you could say. Another thing I noticed is that my oil smells like exhaust is this normal? Not sure if it’s just me but I feel like there is some power loss and I noticed when I’m at idle with my hood open and I give it a little rev to about to grand I noticed a ticking/knocking/binding noise could this be my intake shiftrod I know some people have problems with that. Motor has 113,xxx miles on it the car does have no muffler. Timing chain and guides were just recently done. Any help would be great thank you!
