I have a longer clip now. I have to tow the car back to the shop and not start it, I'm fearing rod knock, but the sound is very strange and not consistent like a rod knock would be? red circle highlights the noise

So, it's not rod knocking, but what the heck is this? Shop couldn't recreate it. Started happening when I got home again.
EDIT: this is most likely tensioner pulley rattle Last edited by NxTH; 01-26-2024 at 04:42 PM.. |

Sounds like something is loose and rattling around, then almost sounds like grinding later on. You need a mechanics stethoscope or something to try and see where its coming from.
- Tensioner / belt / accessories - timing chain/guide/etc - top end (valves/etc) |
