This is a pre-emptive question. At idle all is quiet under the hood. If I increase the throttle to about 1500rpm or higher, I hear a tinny rattle from the front/top of the engine. Right about where the water pump could be. Or, it could be a loose thermostat rattling around. It does make a lot of noise.

Do I need to take off the large metal plate on the front of the engine to make a better diagnosis? I had thought the pump is at the fan base.

Should I get my long stick and do a better job of pinpointing the rattle?


I need to get a green manual! Asking all of these dumb questions is getting on my nerves :)
