Hey all, theres a slight rustling/rattling sound. Its very soft, but loud enough to cause me some conern. Its mainly when the engine is cold and when my foot is just resting on the accelerator just enough to move the car forwards. As the revs get higher the rustling/rattling gets faster, but the sound of the engine kind of drowns out the sound by 2-3000 rpm. I find when the car is warmer or if i have a passenger in the car, its not as loud. The sound's kind of been there ever since i got the car a few months ago, but it wasn't as loud and it didnt really happen that often
Any ideas? Maybe a faulty bearing?

Maybe it just needs a tappet adjustment?

Check the laminated engine pipe.
