Nasty rattle at idle (cold/warm)
So last night i hear rattling coming from engine bay. under the engine... I had found particles in filter some time back
, the previous owner had a refurb engine installed with the IMS update... We were pretty sure it was debris from the rebuild.... Clunk clunk clunk 
... this morning going to work the noise got louder ... more intense... Im thinking HOLY S&^&T!!! turn around going toward my mechanic, keeping it around 3k... I get their, turn car off, my guy comes out to listen, start it................................. Quiet as a whistle.
Drip drip.... Coolant !! I never been so happy to replace a water pump.
......
Just my .02

i got the car back a few hours ago... No noises what so ever.... No cat back... She was leaking like crazy, impeller revolved every which way it could... One note.
- This engine should have approx 53k miles... Water pump should last much longer....
