Can anyone help? I have a noise that starts rattling about 3500rpm up to 6k, (very metallic noise) plus is still noisy under load.
I have read numerous information about rattles in this area and one being the output shaft rivets, mine has the 12 rivet version so ruling that one out plus alternator monkey nuts are all good.
Things that have been done:
Alternator bearings
Monkey nuts checked
New clutch plate
Timing chain and all tensioners
To be done but I can't believe are related:
Ignition timing.
Throttle body balance.
Question is: 1) Where is this type of noise coming from in the intermediate section of the engine?
2) Could the casing be worn that holds the gears?
3) Which gears are prone to this problem if any?
4) Could it be something else?
