[QUOTE="soccerman002, post: 14821536, member: 86800"] I'd have to take it back out and listen for it - just noticed it while idling at Home Depot and then popped the hood at my house before parking it. I started it back up yesterday to move it into the garage, the noise to me appears to be most noticeable on the passenger side, near the front of the valve cover or timing cover. Other than the noise from the video, the motor fires right up, no vibrations, feels good, etc. Whenever I get some time I'm going to do a compression test, check the plugs, & drain/check the oil. Unless something jumps out at me, I'm planning to call a trusted local shop and take it up there, let them listen to it, and go from there. If it ends up being something broken w/the timing assembly or something in the head, as long as the bottom end of the motor is good I'll probably have them toss in a set of Comp Cams and get tuned. Got a lot going on at the moment so this may end up being a few weeks off. [/QUOTE]
