Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you removed the belt and started the engine,to see if the noise is still there with the belt off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't drive it much as (if this is the problem) can let go at any time. For your sake I hope it is not a bent rod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
