Tightened the four hex bolts on the flex plate which were indeed loose and backed out an eighth to a sixteenth. Unfortunately the rattle continues :wallbash:
Not sure which step to take next. I tried a stethoscope aka 19mm wrench with my fist at one end and my ear to it... (Actually works and was recommended by a mechanic unless you have the real thing) Still sounds like its in the oil pan/flex plate area. I also noticed a small amount of exhaust in the engine bay with my flashlight when I was underneath while it was running , almost looked as if it was coming out near the o2 sensor or maybe even higher at the headers (not too sure) could not seem to find any cracks in the piping.. hmm. Sure would like this rattle to go away
