Hi All,

An update: Bought the car and did the oil (Redline 5W 40). Also just finished the throttle body cleaning and it made a world of difference. Now we can really here that one noise on its own without the other issues complicating the matter.

Any thoughts as to what this might be? One suggestion was chain tensioners... as long as it's not IMS!

Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Jeff
