I did a search, but didn't find that much on this.

Its does not tap that loud, sometimes I can't even hear it, I have to get it in the right RPMS between 3000-4000 to here a very faint tapping. Is this normal, or am I just getting myself worked up. I though maybe it could be the powersteering, or superCharger. My MCS is a 04, with 5800 miles on it and it is bone stock. The tapping is not loud, and its really fast tap, I have to really put my ear towards the front to hear it between these Rpms.

Its been so cold here, that I have not been able to change my oil yet, same oil from the factory. Could this be why??? I check the Engine and it has enough oil.

I might also add that after 4000, it goes away.

I did see these post, https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...mp;topic=19039
I am putting 93 in, everything been fine, just started to notice this when everything was quite in my car today around 5500 miles, am I still in Break in mode?

Ty for replys.

I wonder if Moby might be hearing the yo-yo. I never really paid attention to the sound it made because I was always moving, plus I never kept it at the right RPMs for very long.

possible?
