Rattle Identification?

[Mudderoy]

The audio on this is pretty sucky, but to me this sounds to high pitched and to much of a rattle to be a rod bearing, and not deep enough to be a crank bearing. I'm thinking a lose bolt(s) on the flywheel...

The noise disappears with the slightest bit of throttle.

Oh and oil pressure is normal.

i see quite a bit of oil , looks like the RMS "rear main seal" maybe you damange the crank shaft

If it disappears with a few rpms, then it is not a rod bearing. It is hard to tell from the vid, but it might be a weird exhaust leak

On a quick burst acceleration (in park) I get a rattle that sounds like something associated with the exhaust then it goes away. Short duration.

The flywheel bolts were finger tight, if that. I should have put some lock tight on them, but next time...

Glad you found it before they backed out any further. Locktite is always recommended for that application Tony.
