Guess rattle cause on startup and coasting
#12
the water pump replacement was a success. the noise continued!
i spent another half hour poking and listening, it is the engine side plastic radiator shroud. i need to either shave it back a bit or find a way to tighten it back to the radiator. it seems to touch the viscous fan at times. makes sense with the coasting, downhill, non accelerating usual cause of noise, the engine probably shifts a millimeter or two on its worn mounts causing contact.
