Rattling Noise

[achoeypatkul@hqfaus01.unicef.org (Amnat Choeypatkul)]

     Hi q-listers,
     
     Recently, my 90/non q 5L engine is starting to make a "rattle" noise 
     occasionally.  (Well, I tracked down to the source of the noise--it's 
     from the "distributor" area--from the inside of the engine.  I guess 
     it's probably the same noise on Wolff's "the Beast"--200tq.)
     
     This rattle noise will disappear after the engine was heated up.  
     (Sometimes, I have to leave the engine running idle for about 5-10 
     mins until the oil temp is up to around 80C.)
     
     I remember someone had posted it on the list sometimes ago.  Could 
     someone--who BTDT, pls give me advise on how to fix it.
     
     MTIA,
     Nat

     This morning I went outside, started up the '91 200 tq, got out with 
     the motor still running and heard a rattle. 
     ......
     
     BTW, the rattle is the distributer. OK, who was it that was asking me 
     about distributer bushings last week? You hexxed me. :)
