Mine did something similar. Am guessing as it heats up - it expands so doesn't make that noise around the spindle Anyway PitLane diagnosed it and it went away after it was replaced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was lifters for a while but after changing oil viscosity still there. Might try a stethoscope or just go to fraud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be able to hear it near the idle pulley which is the little wheel near top left of front of engine looped under the belt - I wrote up a thread about it on the forum with pics . Idle pulley is about $50 I think from memory Edited 05/07/11 09:09 PM by EvilDaifu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
