It first happened in September during a trip to San Francisco. I thought it was the crappy CA 91 octane gas. When i arrived home in Seattle i filled up with my normal Shell 92, but the sounds persisted. After several bad Blackstone labs reports, I had my rod bearings replaced last week and since then ( last week ) i have not been able to reproduce the noise since.. strange, eh?
