man and i just got done inst. the walbro fuel pump (which i may have to reinstall bc the fuel gauge isnt working, see "Stupid Walbro Fuel Pump" thread). Ok, there is this LOUD rattling inside my motor, like somethings broken and its just hitting the inside of the valve cover. Damn. I have a sure feeling that its pretty severe. Can you guys tell me what the noise is?

Thats my engine, valvecover dirty cuz I took it off along with front cover, its not the timing chain...I have no idea what it is now... You have SR, but it could be a similar/same problem.

NOTE: If video isnt working, just check later, it might not be uploaded yet.

If it drives fine, then yes. I have been driving around with that noise since I got the car, which was like a least 6months....It pulls fine and everything, jus that noise...I have no idea what it is...
