ok heres the verdict, I loosened the bolt and pushed down very lightly and it went almost all the way to the bottom so i tightned the bolt, applied a small amount of RTV to the cover and bolted it back on while i was waiting for the rtv to seal up i pulled the EGR Valve off because the EGR Light is on and this is what i got.



I cleaned it as best i could on the valve and the flange it bolts to, pretty bad really. I put it all back together, tightened up the silent shaft cover and fired it up. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> No more noise!! It idles a bit choppy still and the EGR light is still on but its no longer rattling demons around. I think i hear a leak on the Exhaust manifold somewhere but other then those it seems to run ok. I drove it about a mile giving it a good 5k rpms before shifting, i get some blue smoke one and awhile but im thinking its just left overs from sitting * I hope * Thank you tons for your help! Now i need to figure out why the wipers and four-ways arnt working <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />
