I had an issue with my 420A before i put it away for the winter. Newly rebuilt engine, only about 10K miles, always on top of the oil changes as well.
Just started making this noise one day.

As you can see, it doesn't happen every time, but when it does, it's very noticeable!
Any ideas?

Could really use some help!
Thanks

Low on oil maybe. I dont know if the 420a uses lash adjusters, but in my moms case a caravan 3.0 liter the lash adjusters are bad causing it to make a noise almost identical to the one your car is making. The noise will reduce once the car is warmed up.
