need to be a bit more specific of noise location.

could be something serious like bottom end knocking - ie rebuild, or it could be something trivial like a heat shield or blowing headers.

i have something similar on my car, thought it was headers so jacked up, turned on the ignition and had a listen. ended up ive got noisy tappets, which are more annoying over anything else, but will require bottom end rebuild eventually...

more information fella?

Is it an import ? You have to be careful of illegal imigrants these days and in my opinion you could have a couple of them in the sump, they will do anything to get in the country mate.
