Loose valave seat make noise?
I have a slight rattle (not timing) at very low rpm, more so while in gear with foot on brake and idling up a little.
It seems to be located near backside of engine block. I thought it may be torque converter bolts, but the sound seems located above that but it is hard to tell.
I understand my year cummins has issues with valve seats coming loose. Just curious if -- before they actually fall out -- will it make a rattling noise?
