[QUOTE="GODBACON, post: 11647291, member: 135455"] Hi all, Purchased a 2004 Cobra with 9,544 miles 2 days ago. Car drives like a dream and pulls even harder (obviously) than my 2001 GT that I traded in. Car is completely stock except for what seems to be a short throw shift & it has been lowered about 1.5". I did install the pre-programmed tune that comes with the SCT x3 tuner. Woke her up nicely. What I noticed on the drive back from Virginia to New Jersey is after the car got pretty warmed up, the engine began to rattle (marbles in a can). Engine knock? I immediately changed the oil; 5w20 synthetic after I got back to Jersey. Still rattling after 10-15 minutes of driving. The engine only rattles after the car is warmed up. No rattling the first few minutes of driving. 1st gear; engine rattles around 800-1500 RPMs. 2nd gear is just around there too. Rest of the gears seem to do just fine. I tried searching the forums for this similar problem, no luck. Any input on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Glad to finally own a Cobra btw!!! :beer: -if i posted this in the wrong section, my apologies; please relocate. [/QUOTE]
