Bought my car used at 80K miles, so no warranty. Also saw horror stories about getting the fix done, but the engine runs worse after, or the noise comes back again like yours, 300.
So I decided to just ignore the noise, and if something breaks, THEN, I'll spend the $2000 to get it fixed. But so much for "the pursuit of excellence".

I k now if i don't step on the brakes all the way to start my car, the sound doesn't come up as often. Not sure if this is legit or just in my head now. It does make the sound if its sitting at night after driving all day though. i just ignore it as much as possible now.
