I'm pretty sure anyway, it happens under light to moderate load in the 2200-2800rpm range, and i get that light clattering. I was wondering before i sought out the stealership is there something I can do (aside from the job myself) to alleviate the noise. afaik it's not anything threatening the life of the engine, but then, i could be wrong

 

Hello? 50 views and nobody even has a comment or some input? that's hard to believe...

 

Oil level? Oil consummation?

 

afaik it doesn't burn a drop. I originally thought my engine WAS burning oil, and i was getting ready to just start pulling my hair out. then after my last change, I drained definately more than i should've got out if i was burning any. so I've refilled with fresh stuff, and It's been roughly 4-5k.

 

how are your motor mounts? I get the rattle but its b/c my heatshield touches the crossmember like crazy. Check the clearence between your heatshield and crossmember
