Thanks for advice,sorry for poor question format.what do you think is causing sound?Thanks again
Without hearing the exact noise , that's a little tricky to say. The more you can narrow down the exact conditions (that's sorta vague also, I know) the easier it would be to at least eliminate what it is NOT. Questions to ponder...Does it 'hammer' real bad upon initial cold start-up (for 1-3 seconds) and then calm down a bit , after the initial oil pressure climbs? Is there ANY remote possibility that the noise is EXTERNAL -accessory belt tensioner/pulley. Water pump? Noise consistent when in park AND in drive? Load conditions have any effect? Worse accelerating or decelerating? Start with those...
