[Tigers] Metallic chatter noise

[Tony Lang]

Jim... I am no expert on a noise or most other subjects but since you checked the obvious places using your stethoscope, it seems the sound is traveling from the cause to outside the engine but not thru the places you mentioned. What first came to my mind was your timing chain but since you checked there, my next thought was cam gear and distributor gear. I am a firm believer in a magnetic oil pan plug in case there are small filings in the oil. Please let us know the culprit when you figure it out!

 Hi

Been a while since I posted, but having a problem. I hope the attached 10 sec video goes through.

Getting a metallic clatter from front of the engine. 

I can not see anything making contact.

The fan, fan pulley and shroud are secure.

With a stethoscope I checked for internal clatter at the water pump, timing cover, generator and valve covers. All internals sounded to be running smoothly.

Clatter gets worse as rpms increase but as I reach cruising speed the clatter seems to go away, although exhaust might be drowning it out. If I slow down and accelerate again it gets worse again.

Thanks

Jim
