Default Re: Engine rattles

Do you know any good local mechanic that could listen to the engine?

It sounds like you have the engine in the car, so make sure the pulley isn't rubbing the frame, and make sure the front motor mount isn't squeaking on the crossmember. I like to squirt oil there to be sure. Otherwise a dry camshaft plunger is still my first bet for the squeak.

Also try it with the belt off as Mitch mentioned. I've heard lots of squeaking belts over the years.
