Anybody have any idea why my baby rattles for the first few minutes of driving when I take it to 4000 RPM's and up? Sounds metallic.

Also, I think I heard either rattling or pinging today, any ideas?

Thanks ahead of time.

Well, unfortunately quite a few of us have been experiencing this sound and getting progressivley more upset by it for the past couple of months.

Get a beer or three and your reading glasses, it's a LONG discussion. :grin:

well ladies and gents
I have just read through most of the posts on this subject and am sorry to say # 5467 has the same problem :sad: EXCEPT it doesn't GO AWAY !! I've recently noticed that if I hold the throttle somewhere between 3400 and 4000 I hear this horrible sound ... it's NOT ping or vavle train noise, I do have that "diesel" sound and it seems to have nothing to do with temperature :sad: seems to be it's loudest if i hold it right between 3800 and 4000 ...I have a densecharger (100 mm) and I ALWAYS run 93 octane ...just had the oil changed ( an hour ago ) with castrol synthetic @ 5,251 miles (changed it myself at 3k also with 10W30 regular castrol) .. any suggestions ?? Thanks Joe
