Hey, while I'm grilling you guys for help, I've got a few more things I trying to figure out. I have two sounds coming from the engine that I don't like.

The first sounds like the whine of a power steering pump that's going bad or out of fluid, but mine seems fine and is full. If I were to guess, it appears that the sound may be coming from the fan. Are there bearings in there that are common to fail? Is there anyway to lube them?

The other sound is a ticking sound that goes up and down with RPMs. Not super loud or anything. I wouldn't say that that this is an engine knocking (the motor was rebuilt just over 1000 miles ago- before I bought it), but who knows. Where do I begin to look for the source/culprit of this one?

Thanks - Edwyn
