My motor sounds like there is loose change up in it jingling around. I have replaced the dis cap and rotor and that didn't solve it so I figured it was loose valves but I adjusted them today and it still makes the damn noise. I was hoping someone on here would be able to help me figure out this problem.

thanks,

check rod bearings i had this problem

 

the last time i had a rattling sound coming from the engine bay, it turned out i broke a mount.

 

could be anything from loose exhaust heat-shields to major engine issues to a craked exhaust manifold.. the best thing you can do is to get an automotive stethiscope (about 12 bucks at a parts store) and start really listening for it. If its a water pump or accessory drive part they sound like ice being choped in a blender when the bearings go bad..

 

Check heat shield. After that.. crankshaft journal bearing (main bearing)

my car does this same thing. Has been for about a year and i still havent figured it out. I cannt pinpoint the noise

 

if it goes away when you press in the clutch pedal, it's your throwout or pilot bearing..... try that

 

got the same problem, how do u fix a loose valve. i still gota check if its my heat shield but cant tell if its from engine or under me..

 

Anytime I hear the term pingpong ***** and loose change with the word motor.. I cant help but think DETONATION!

to "fix" a loose valve is to get a valve adjustment job....
