Re: Rotor Button

Especially if the engine is high mileage:

The clatter you are talking about smacks of excessive main and rod bearing clearances. It rattles until the oil pressure builds. Older, high mileage engines will do this with wear, but if the engine is fairly recent, it could indicate another problem - also involving clearances and oil pressure.
