Rattle coming from oil pan, loose nut or bolt? Should I pull the oil pan?

Great time for a pmgr starter (permanent magnet gear reduction). Get one from a mid 80’s FJ60. Vendors here sell them and there are local auto parts house or online options. Bolts right in.


Dang I almost said it sounded like a starter spur gear hitting flywheel!

I had a ski do snowmobile that did the same thing.

(Oh wait… post 31….)

I agree with @Skreddy. A gear reduction starter is a relatively inexpensive upgrade. Gear Reduction Starter (Part Number: 28100-60070-84)(($88.30 + $60 core charge free shipping)
