TTT Got the car back from having the hood painted. I updated the OP with a few new pictures before the camera died. I will take a bunch of pictures and a video or two this weekend. Let me apologize in advance for my lack of photography skills.
Bump. Two more vids posted in the original post. First is a cold start so you can hear the lash adjuster noise; second is a warm start. Sorry for the crappy quality, it's the best I can do. Will have a drive by video up tomorrow.
I've gotten some questions about the lash adjuster noise, so let me clarify: The lash adjusters ONLY make noise at IDLE and ONLY when the engine is cold.
