So if it's the injection pump, why is mine no longer making the noise with a new engine and the original injection pump? It rattled like crazy before the engine was replaced. I just took it out at lunch and there is ZERO rattle.
Mine had both the tick and the 2K rattle. Just had the engine replaced because of cylinder scoring and excessive oil consumption. The new engine is very quiet. No tick and no rattle. I only have about 250 miles on it so far so that may change.
I hope it stays quiet but if it comes back I...
