rattle????

hey i got a loud rattle in my 04 redline when i first start it up. it sorta sounds like the timing tensior but not like a supercharger coupler. it only has just over 20,000 k. so i have no idea what it could be. could anyone help me out here.

I get the same sound when it's very very cold, but after the engines warmed up it goes away.

really, yeah same with mine when it warms up it goes away. is that normal?

I'm guessing so, The best one to ask is the older owners who have used these cars longer then us.. Hopefully Omega will reply or Flatgod

yeah i hope so cause its parked now, i sure hope its not the timing, in that case i'm sorta scared to drive it cause i don't really got enough cash to fix it if it goes, thats if it don't need a new head if it does

Im sure it's not the timing, but im not mechanically incline too much

yeah a, like when it warms up it runs fine. even when its rattling it still runs fine. its weird

well i'll text Omega and ask him

Does it sound more like a can of marbles? If so, it's more than likely just the supercharger gear set which is very very common.

Our transmission gearing makes noises as well.

It's a very noisy car. If it's common from the actual engine block, then you could have an issue.

I had this odd sound this morning.. I get into my KARR and then i hear this odd rattle... then i noticed it with my teeth going.... damn it's cold on my ass... Then i got the shakes and then i realized i havn't even started the engine yet.

yea it sorta sounds like that, but i still got some warranty left till march 7 2010. so i might just send it to sherwood and tell them to figure it out.

I can almost bet they will say either "cannot recreate" or "operating normally". Doesn't hurt to try though.

yeah, like i would take it to my shop but i parked it last week and its sorta to cold to start it and try working on it

so i took my car to sherwood, and they heard the rattle that i know is coming from my motor, drivers side internal is what is sure sounds like even with a hose hooked up, but they sure think its my steering coloumn on the inside of my car when you move it up and down, but yet i have no rattle's when i drive or turn or anything. so i don't know why they would think its that. does anyone else have any ideas. it sorta sounds like timing chain but its on the drivers side where there is no belts or anything. anyone have any information to add.
