Default tinny sound SOMETIMES.

alright i just did a search, found nothing.

when my car (99 dx coupe, bone stock minus magnaflow exhaust) gets warmed up, and i rev the motor or im driving and reaching high RMP's, i can hear a faint tinny sound under the hood, almost like theres a piece of aluminum can being hit by something. i've been told i need to do a valve job (which i will be doing saturday,) but i just want to make sure. thanks
