Hey Scotty....hope you are having a great time up north and meeting a lot of GREAT people!

I submitted a You-Tube video for review (per Scotty's instructions) and a history of oil changes back on March 30th and hadn't heard back yet.

Any idea whether I should be worried about this engine noise or there if there is something that I should replace (e.g. Timing Chain / Water Pump) if this isn't actual rod knock??

Hi Team:

The You Tube link is here for the Car Video: https://youtu.be/LmtQFsavwxk

There has never been a history of "low oil" with this engine NOR the low oil warning light coming on.

You should know that all Oil Changes (5W30 oil) were done by Toyota of Seattle.
Oil changes were done at the following mileage points:
4702 miles
9547 miles
14618 miles
19750 miles
25547 miles
28387 miles
33282 miles
38002 miles
42414 miles
47423 miles
52290 miles
57468 miles
60486 miles
65568 miles

Thanks so much!!!

I split your reply into a new question, so hopefully you should get new replies. Sorry about your previous thread being drowned out & the video going unnoticed for more than 2 weeks.

I gotta day to me that sounds like rod knock. I could be wrong it is a video and sounds are hard to diagnose recorded. But whatever it is I doubt its a rotating part. Sounds like a rod, or valve to me.
