the sound of metal, kind of a ta ta ta ta....(that sounded stupid didnt it...) it rises with the rpms. It does sound like a valve kind of. I think the online manual says to put an extra quart of oil in or two to see if it goes away, and then it is a HLA. I havent tried that yet. I have the vlave cover off, i was trying to see if there was anything i could do physically to soak them or whatnot...

maybe i will just opt for the ole' ZE swap.<P>Maybe with the stars aligned, the wife in agreement, and the bank account in agreement I can do that sometime.....<P>I will just hold out, and see what I can do with it from the outside of the motor and ride it till it dies who knows..other than that the car sounds great and purrs nice, maybe if i actually drive it more than 10 miles a month it will go away...<P>Robert<p>[ July 11, 2002: Message edited by: onyx_ZX3 ]
