I will definitely do this, as I think you are probably right about where my particular rattle is coming from.

I am also interested in replacing anything that may be necessary to replace in a motor that has done 120,000 miles, just to give me the peace of mind that I won't have a catastrophic failure due to lack of maintenance.
