Hey guys what's up, I have a problem.

I have a rattling sound sound coming probably from the head or somewhere near the head.

I just overhauled the engine about 5 months ago.

I clueless right now on what to change, my last option is to go to the dealer let them fix it.

Thanx

Checked your oil recently?

Does it go away when the engines warm?

The engine oil was changed like 2 months to sae 40 to see if the sound goes away but nothing.

Yeah its more like a rataka sound lol can't describe it.

The noise doesn't go away when warm, it sound then even worse.

On idle the noise isn't that loud but when you step on the gas the noise comes back and loud.

There was an incident when we changed the head gasket to a metal one but it didn't work, the coolant water was mixing with the oil maybe that damaged the lifters on the head?
Car ran like that for about one day then was back to mech to changed the head gasket to a stock one.
