terry, the reason I don't think it's bottom end is because it's more of a
tapping noise. I tried to use a pipe as a stethascope, but just couldn't
make out where it's coming from. Because of the noise, I don't want to
drive it, so I couldn't tell you if it increases with revs. I am taking it
on friday to get it checked out at Brunswick Datsun because I don't know
anyone personally with a datto, letalone in my area, trailoring it so I
don't make whatever it is worse. thanks anyway for your help.
