i think it might be a floating valve but I'm not sure at all!! my motor "only under load" make a rattle/gargle sound from the fourth cylinder!!! Ive tried thicker oil cause its hot as hell outside, down to burping the coolant system and it still makes the strange ass sound!! post up with any ideas cause i can use the help!! thanks

and just to add it only does this when the motor gets heated up!! for instance at night it doesn't do this but only when its hot as hell out!!!

run thick ass oil, just kidding............. why dont u pull the valve cover off and inspect it... u might just need new tensioners... but if ur valve is moving... why dont u try lashing it...
