engine noise

[SBMIANO]

Ove the past year I have notice an incresed chatter from the engine. It's the normal noise that I am told the engines make but it is getting much louder. To the point of annoyance. Any suggestions?? It's a 2008 Vert with 13K and it looks sooooo good goin down the road til you pull up and someone says your have a bent rod or bad lifters

Thanks

I've noticed that my 08 coupe has been gradually getting noisier as well.

have the same in my 2000 acr with only 12k. changed the rockers and rods and no change. I am as frustrated as you are and can get no answers.

The chatter could be a ton of things - all the way from very simple and harmless (noisy injectors, loose accessory or trim pieces) to somewhat harmless but annoying (leaky lifters) to downright problematic (loose rocker studs, bent pushrods, worn bearings). My guesses would be the injectors first, and leaky lifters second.
