I did say it sounds like that, but I will say it sounds like loose rocker arms almost, but, it doesn't make the noise in neutral at all. I can rev it all I want no noise. Also I'll add the noise isn't there when the engine is cold, or the part in which the noise is coming from, I have a long drive home from work and all of it is mostly down hill. I noticed if I am coasting a lot and then have to pull a hill the noise isn't there and then comes back pretty soon. I texted taking a video of it but you can't hear it over the engine. At 1100 rpms is when it starts and at 2000rpms you can hear it over the radio turned all the way up. I've never been so stumped in my life
