ok this just recently started... ive been hearing a loud clicking/ clanking noise from the engine bay... i used some of those things that doctors would use to use to hear your heart beat but meant for cars.. and it seams to be coming from the valve body... my question is what is the problem what could be getting tossed around in there?? also my tranny fluid is the color of syrup.... soo that needs to be changed.. .. thanks, david.

This is gonna sound out of left field, but feel the back end of the boots on the spark plug wires (the part just outside your valve cover) when the engine is running. You may be able to feel the ticking form a certain cylinder.
I've failed 2 spark plugs (1 in the #2 and one in #3 cylinder) in the past 6 months, and I think I'm running too hot a plug for my driving style and autocross. I can feel a ticking in my #2 cylinder, and am almost sure that plug's on the way as well. I've never found anyone who can advise me on this problem, but it sounds a lot like yours.I swear, eventually I'll run out of things to break.
I guess I was wrong... I broke it all. Died 10/29/06
