Engine rattle (audio)
So I'm still getting up to speed on my new-to-me 2000 sport 4.0. It doesn't overheat. Runs really smoothly. Only check engine light is the 01495 that I'm getting looked at because I've tried everything I can think of. I'm still trying to figure out what I want long term, so I'm wondering if anyone can tell me what the engine means when it's rattling like this.
P.s. I already sent an oil sample to Blackstone. Fresh oil change. New plugs. Compression test passed.
I've put about 100 miles on it so far.

That hissing is definitely the microphone or fans. There is no audible vacuum leak. Aside from that rattling/knocking, the engine sounds good. I think I need to work on the exhaust some though.
I don't know how to tell if it's from the top end or the bottom,

Stethoscope. Or use a screwdriver, with the handle to your ear, and the pointy end on whatever it is you want to listen to. Shove a rubber hose over the end of it for longer reach, if needed. Either way, keep clear of the fan.
