Thanks, I will.
Hoping he sees this thread/can handle it.
My mechanic told me nothing can be done about it... Just watch the engine die slowly

Appointment with Lomomike booked for Tuesday next week.

Did you change your gear, if u did, am sure they didn't tighten some bolts in the intersection of the engine and gear, hope the sound goes off after like 5minutes of starting your engine, you need a gear specialist to check that for u

Bros, are you not the one i did a car scan for in Gwarinpa? I think its an engine oil issue. That your engine oil is too light for your car. When you rectify it, switch to 5w30.

I use the same model and I have stuck to 0w-20 grade oil since the day I bought it. I experienced same sound years ago and by checking Google, realised it was a faulty water pump and there was an updated part. A few months ago, another rattle began and that was the timing chain. I had the engine dropped and timing chain replaced and the noise is gone. You should probably check these two parts. Please run from any mechanic who says they don't have to drop the engine to replace the chain or who tells you it's the chain that has slacked and offers to weld so metal on the tensioner to reduce the slack.

Any one working on the engine take note of the parts.
