Engine rattle
Since a few weeks ago I could hear a strange sound in my engine. Something similar to the "death rattle", only while the engine was on iddle.
I was looking into the engine but I could not detect where it came from.
Today I finally discovered where the sound is coming from.
And I think the cause of this new vibration in the engine is the NM engine torque arm insert few months ago.
My question is: it is safe to unscrew this metal cap, remove it and reinstall it to try to eliminate this rattle?

Removing it should be safe. Just try to see where it is touching and causing the noise. Some times you can bend the heats shield up just a little to stop it from tapping on the exhaust or other parts. It may need to be moved just a little, a washer under the heat shield on each bolt may do it. But its safe to remove it and take a look.
