Re: 16v weird noises

Use a stethoscope and be very careful.  I believe the 16v valvetrain will 
make more noise over time.  I know mine makes more noise than it used to.  
The lifters eventually wear out and the cam chain gets louder too.  I also 
use Mobil1 15W-50.  Your noise could be the timing belt slapping on the 
cover.  Remove the upper cover and watch the belt as the engine is running.  
GL!
