all I have to say to that is, What????
I would really like to hear it before I try and diag. the issue.
Post some Audio or Video
There are a hundred different things it could be.
Timing belt tensioner/pulley failure
Rod knock... (cooler oil is thicker and could delay knock from a spun bearing)
Something in the valve cover (there is no telling with some DSM owners)
Your buddy is pretty sure it isnt rod knock and I dont know why.
