Mine actually made a little "tink" noise when I re-tightened the bolt and the doohickey snapped. I think I was hearing the exploded "donut" part landing in the sump. A loose balancer chain will make a random tink-tink sound from the left side of the engine at idle. I'd pull the cover and inspect ASAP. RM> > How do you tell if your doohicky is busted?
