04 tl, mt. rattle/knock
so, I have a noise that sounds like it's up top of the engine. thought it was the power steering pump, since the rattle/knock really sounds loudest there. took the belt off, no change. which means not anything belt driven. Trying to decide whether to start by pulling valve covers or timing cover.

A screwdriver works better. That's how I thought the power steering pump was making noise. seams to go away @ 3k rpm. made me think something to do with v-tec, so pulled valve covers. Everything looks good. Kinda lost. Don't know what to look at next.
