on alternator. could it be something else , when it does it , doesn't matter, hot or cold, doesn't matter when it doesn't do it hot or cold, only when I am alone does it do it. Oil is new and full, Car is a 9 on a 1 to 10 , and very well maintained, never run hard, or abused,

Could it be a wrist pin,

It is possible that you just have an issue with valve adjustment.
I would suggest starting your own thread either on this forum or on the Tech forum and you will probably get more hits.
It is a tradition that you post a photo of your new ride in your first few posts, so try doing an intro thread on the tech forum with a photo and your question and I am sure you will have positive results.
