so if the sound dose continue once the engine is warm dose that rule out the valves? please say yes, cuse i knoiw it has a exhaust leak[:@] also would you guys like a video of the camera paning over the engine and under body? so you could get a visual with sound?

timing sounds a little off. definately a horrible exhaust leak.
like the other guy said i would try a cleaner the next full tank of gas.
sometimes fuel injectors make funny noises when they are dirty.
and it often sounds like valve tapping.
