So I recently replaced my timing chain, guides, tensioner, etc. Also took the pan off cleaned it well and cleaned oil pick up tube. I have plenty of oil pressure and no valve tapping. When I fire my car up you can hear it rattle pretty loud then it goes away quickly. The rattle then comes back around 2300 rpm. At that rpm if you give it more gas it will go away but from 3k to 6k at wot it rattles like nobody's business. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Oh p.s. its an 89 single cam 40 thousandths over, crank, rods and head work with 35,000 miles, Thanks again.
