It sounds like your engines timining chain has signs of failing, and to replace needs taking out the engine. Thats why it took long.
If when you get it back the noise is gone and the engine runs smooth, keep the car, it will be fine.
If there is still noise coming out of the engine (not normal) then trade it for a 2009 (late) or 2010 model.
