Well I haven't been on in awhile, but thought I should mention, my friend who helped me put on the pump didn't tighten it down all the way. Oops he said.
Don't think it's the vtcs that I've read about. Sound comes from passenger side, possibly in the timing cover or valve cover. Gonna open it up now, would like some feedback.
So I replaced the water pump the other day then changed my oil, now I've got an inconsistant rattle/tick which speeds up with rpms but don't have any power issues. Any Ideas????
