Thank you Gentlemen. Much appreciated.

Crazy thing is now the sound appears to have stopped. I gave the
engine a sound "thrashing" on I5 (took it up to higher than previous
sppeds) and previous to that gave it a good romp on some hills. Put at
least a few hundred miles on it since oil change. Didn't hear the
sound again. But I will inspect regardless.

Thanks all for listening!

Neil.
