That's what I said in my first post. I had the same problem. It sounds like it's coming from inside the motor but when I pulled the engine out there were only two of the six bolts holding it to the crank.I could have sworn the noise was coming from about number four piston.

I will be loktiting mine as well when I fit it today.The bolts will be chewed a bit and will need replacing. I think I read the plate should also be replaced.
