Hi,

I saw the other post. If the engine oil is full and clean, it could be several things. Is it possible for you to record it and upload it for me to hear? Also, can you pinpoint an approximate location it is coming from? For example, does it sound low in the engine? Is it louder on one side or the other? Let me know.

Also, take a look through this link and let me know if anything stands out to you:

Let me know.

Take care,

Joe

Turned out to be an injector carbonated to the max.

Hi,

Thank you for the update. Actually, that is a good thing. LOL I was thinking a rod knock or something internal.

Regardless, take care of yourself, and feel free to come back anytime in the future.
