Thanks Ken and  ORR ~ DeanB

Will check the intake runners. I had them off for rehab and paint. I
applied anti seize to long bolts.

Sure sounds like whistle coming from the TB or near it.

Will also deploy a tube of some kind to pinpoint sound. Why I didn't hear
it earlier I don't know. Only noticed it when in driver seat, engine lid
off. Odd!

Neil.
