Hello

Ive had my engine (V6 Alloytec) completely rebuilt 20,000km ago from bottom to top, and has been fine since then. 1 week ago when i was heading on a road trip i started to notice my car was making weird noise.

Hello,

There could be any number of components that could make the noise.
It can be faulty lifters, worn bearings, loose drive belt pulley etc.
