Thanks Gents!
Funny story. I had breakfast with a friend this morning. Was telling him about my noise issue. He said, "Dave, you need to get a stethoscope and try to pinpoint it better". Then he thought for a minute more and said, "its probably your throw-out bearing"! Imagine that, exactly what the experts here said!
But back to business. I did adjust the clutch free play, which it needed. But still had the noise. I got out a stethoscope and started listening around. The stethoscope really starts screaming when I touch the timing gear cover. So it seems it is definately something in that area. Any thoughts or suggestions on how to proceed? Thank you very much!
