My engine sounds like horses on a brick road.
*Clopple...clopple clopple...click clopple clopple*
This is the closest form of onomatopoeia I can think of to describe the sounds my engine makes. It only makes this sound at idle, the second I hit the gas even slightly, the sound stops.
The only thing I can think of to cause this would be the fact that about 20k miles ago my timing belt snapped. I was only doing about 20mph when it happened, so i got the timing belt and water pump replaced and the engine still works. Could this sound be from a bent valve or some sort of other residual damage from such an event?
Any input is greatly appreciated, thx.
