New rattle - timing chain
Started the car yesterday after it sat in the rain for four days. Sounded Ok for a mile, then I heard a light rattle start up. When the car is static and out of gear and I rev it up, the rattle rises with the revs, so it sounds like engine-related rather than clutch or gearbox. Funny thing is that it started suddenly. I have taken the car up to red-line a couple of times and it is running well. I can hear it clearly when listening under the back of the car when idling. The car has 48k miles on it, and always had frequent oil changes with Mobil1. Timing chain perhaps? Any other thoughts?
