Thanks Terry, mounts are on my list of the ususal suspects, but will do one thing at a time. Reason it could be the mounts: disconnected the top of the tensioner damper to see if the clacking goes away at idle. It did, but a few seconds later I scared myself silly with the most horrific internal engine noises, sounded like a metal thrasher inside, at idle, went quiet above 1200 rpm. Could feel the reverb on the entire engine. Reconnected the damper, everything was OK again, except for the damper clatter. The engine is also very loud at 2400-2700 rpm, but better outside that range. Just need to spend more time with her, to get to know her better and stuff. Are all of the non-turbos this slow?
