I havent had a chance to get into the engine yet, but I have put another 750 miles on it and the noise seems to be getting a bit worse if anything.

Chad, was this sound you heard a light tapping that you had to strain to hear? I am hearing something louder.

If I didnt just put in new injectors (noise existed pre injector change), I would suspect them 100%. It sounds like nailing except it sounds like a part is loose and random.

Tuesday I will get a chance to look into this in a nice garage. Any more ideas? Can the ARV do funky things?
