I had a noise from the bottom end yesterday, too. Tracked it down to the mexican food I had for lunch. :badaboom: Remember to tip your waitress, smokefree shows at 7 each night.

But, seriously, wondering if something somehow got down into the crankcase/oilpan? I have the same engine so I am interested in how it turns out.
