I reached the point where I just needed to know if I was missing something. I scheduled an appointment for service at Lexus. I stated that I needed a diagnostic scan to look into the noise and the P0018 code.
Some hours later the shop foreman appeared with the service advisor for s counseling session. He explained that he was drawing a blank as to what was causing both the noise and codes. We went through his steps and mine and came to the conclusion with about 90% certainty that I may have tweaked a valve. Engine diag shows no loss of pressure so the valve is sealing, but it is also making that goa awful noise. He said in another 4 hours @ $260 ph he could tear it down and find the noise, or I could just live with it.
I chose to live with it.
