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! <br></div><div><br></div><div class="ydpc1e30158signature"><div>Tony Lang (TtT)<var id="ydpc1e30158yui-ie-cursor"></var></div></div></div>
