Rattle at rear valve cover
I've got a strange rattle noise at the rear valve cover. it sounds like a rattle and it gets louder when i accelerate. on closer inspection i can hear what sounds like a plunger noise at idle and part throttle when i put my ear right near the rear valve cover.

i'm going to take the rear valve cover off and see if i can see anything. but does any one else have any ideas on what this could be?

What do you mean a plunger noise?

Done any work in the area recently?
