It sounds like IMS and bore scoring are ruled out in the case of my car's strange engine noise. Most people listening to my car would say it's a lifter, but apparently the lifters in these engines don't frequently fail, and cylinder issues are often misdiagnosed as noisy lifters, so who knows.
Blackstone oil analysis came back clean. There was no metal on my magnetic drain plug.
Automotive Associates will be looking at the car on Monday. I think they plan on pulling the sump to look for debris and then scoping the cylinders. Who knows: it might end up being nothing. But I wouldn't bet on it.

CJ. All of those things are good signs. Has anyone hooked it up to a scan tool and checked timing deviation?
