Me neither, but mine did the EXACT same thing. Maybe the dressing allowed for some slippage.

I have talked to a couple of mechanics and they have said that the sound that a crankshaft makes when it is about to seperate is a knocking/rattling one.

You are wasting your time...............it is the crankshaft pulley!!

The Crankshaft pulley is molded to the harmonic balancer with rubber.
Rubber gets old and separates, causing it to screech!!
