Engine Rattling
Hey guys
The engine to my 1990 Honda Accord as recently developed a rattling sound in the engine, which is quite annoying and can be heard within the car whilst I'm driving. It sounds like there is a nut that has come loose and been trapped in a tin can to put it metaphorically.
I have had a look through the engine but was unable to find any loose material and dont have the equipment to really lift the car up to have a better look.
So has anybody ever had same problem or know of anything that it could be?
Cheers

RE: Engine Rattling
Check all the heat shields; exhaust manifold, catalytic converter, etc. for security. This can rattle and be very annoying.
Have timing belts been done? A failing tensioner could start rattling due to a dry bearing.
If noise is from under valve cover, better check immediately as you may have something bouncing around that may eventually jam and cause a problem.
good luck
