Dave, thanks for the info and suggestions. Part of the issue is the harmonics of the noise. Very hard to pin point the exact location. I have run a stetho all over the motor and cannot find that 'gotcha' place where it is coming from.

I remember that the distro had some back and forth play in the shaft. Not sure how much is normal. Timing appears to be steady and not bouncing around.

Never had the timing cover off. So not sure what the status is under there. To me the sound appears to come more from the rear as opposed to the front of the motor. But the harmonics in there have it sound like it is coming from everywhere.

I've run it with the fan belt and fuel pump off, and no change in the sound. So that elimate those items. I guess I can pull the distro and check for anything funky in the shaft.
