Rattle in my I-6
Uh oh,
My original I-6 has developed a rattle like something is just bouncing around under the valve cover near the front of the engine. It does not increase when I hit the gas and everything seems tight for the fan etc. I am trying not to take the top apart but I may have too. Any thoughts on what it could be?
Thanks - Jeff

Sound not sensitive to RPM
Sound is not sensitive to throttle - it's just there like something just bouncing around like the ball in a spray can. Not making noise at regular intervals either.
Changing the motor mounts can't hurt after 60 years.
I just did not want to undo all the bolts and see what's there. Although I should do that someday as a lot of crud was in the oil pan when I first got the truck 10 years ago.
