Hi there,

I have had a CA for some years now,also had big and small issues as all of us.. :)
I had spun rod bearings before,even did the crankshaft remastered,that was on my previous car!

So the thing is I have some experience with these engines,but now for a few last days I hear some noise from the oil pan,no power loss ,no white smoke,it is not even much for a noise as a bad rod bearings,just bearley hearing it..
So I had my car lifted up and when I put my fingers on the bottom of the oil pan ,on the place where the oil pickup tube is I can feel something in the middle,like there is a loose bolt on the oil pump and the pump is hitting the oil pan on every rotation cycle!
It is not much of a noise,but those things down there are terryfying hahaha,
So ,can anyone tell me what could this be? Never had a situation like this before..,

Thank you all,
