If you have a strange noise from the engine PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE IT.
Simple things like valve issues manifest as a rattle, then when they go you end up having to rebuild the whole engine, or get a new head.
Rattles are like warnings and sadly most drivers seem to think they will go away on their own, or worse still that a good high RPM thrashing will sort it out.
In reality ignoring this rarely helps, and usually leads to much much larger bills further down the line.
Have you ignored a rattle, or picked up early on a problem by listening out for it?
