May not make a difference, but just for kicks, Id remove the
serpentine belt and crank the engine cold, and see if you get any
rattle. You never know, sometimes idler bearings, alternators, etc,
make odd noises.
I just did this with my step sons Jimmy, to try and isolate noise.
Didnt help, rod /crank bearing for sure. Off topic, but they only want
1800 bucks for a 4.3 long block!! (Napa and the Zone) Maybe yours wont
be so bad? Ill cross my fingers.
