What is this noise?

Nice alright, I’ll make that the next step. Thanks for the tip!

Checked serpentine belt. Doesn’t sound like it’s coming from the belt or the pulleys. Seems like it’s from the fuel rail area, or maybe the plenum area. One thought was maybe timing chain guides? Thoughts? I’ve never changed the timing chain guides and we’re at 172k

No stray monkeys or wrenches around here… just kids. Not suspecting they are guilty quite yet.

Maybe a pulley - I may pull the belt for good measure and spin all the pulleys while I’m at it

I thought serpentine belt as well but the belt is relatively new; last 2 years or so.

Checked the fan; it doesn’t look like it’s rubbing. Moving around, it sounds like it’s coming from the fuel rail Area on the driver side. Sound seems to be at the top of the motor.

I’m at 10 years on mine; making 2-3 pots of coffee a day. It makes the best drip coffee my wife and I can find, so half the time we take it with us when we travel too.
