i lifted the valve cover and it pretty much spotless...there was oil already in the car and that was blacker then i've ever seen no idea what weight it was..but i ran 10-30 like the bt manual says. theres a thread on club4ag that says their running 20w50 above 20 degrees F and its not gunna be that for long round here. They also suspect vvt pulley..but i cannot seem to find any information on what it sounds like or how to diagnose it...i'm almost posative its number 1 (idk anymore its the one next to the timing belt) and it goes away with rpm so i doubt its bearings (if it is i'm going to flip the %%%% out) i kinda feel like its either vvt or one of the valves in that cylinder...they are hydraulic correct?
