[V8] Rattling 3.6

[Stafford, Kenneth A.]

As a sort of New Year's resolution, I'm tackling some of the niggling
problems of my V8.  Got the "car-be-que" smoke cured by replacing all the
dizzy seals.  Now on to an annoying rattle.  When the engine is cold it idles
as quiet as can be.  When it is fully warmed up (and idle oil pressure drops
to about 2 bar) it sounds like a diesel when you open the hood.  Basically
it's been doing this ever since I did a T-belt replacement 30K ago.  I'm
thinking it's oil pressure related as opposed to engine temp.  You cannot
actually hear it from the cockpit.  The engine runs a smooth as silk even
with the clatter which does attenuate at higher rpms (increased oil
pressure?).  I know I've heard some discussion about this but can't find the
definitive answer.  I replaced the idlers and water pump with the TB but did
not replace any parts in the tensioner.

TIA,

Ken
