Rebuilt 3L engine has 'clacking' sound noticible at idle and low rpm. frequency of sound speeds up as RPM increases. No lack of power, accellaration is fine. Oil changed frequently.
Any ideas??
Thanks
Paul

i think these mitsubishi 3.0L engines do that from new. my '99 with 280K does that too. at idle the "clack" frequency is about 180/minute.
