Odd noise at idle
Odd in the sense of when it occurs. It goes like this... tap-tap (about two seconds elapse) tap-tap (two more seconds) tap-tap, repeat. It sounds like a valve tapping noise. I believe it's coming from the cam/valve area. It only happens at idle. Any rpm above idle, even slight, causes the noise to go away.
