For those of you that have solid motor mounts, removed balance shafts, and big cams, you know this problem all to well.
Way to many rattles.
After spending a ton of time finding the rattles, some are very hard to fix.
The one that has me stumped is the ignition key.
I have a brand new key cut with the code and the key vibrates inside the cylinder. If you touch it, the rattle goes away.
My thought is trying that liquid rubber coating that you can buy for coating screw driver shafts and pliers handles to cover just the shaft of the key after the cut area. Just a thin coating so that it has a snug fit just as the key is inserted all the way in.
What do you guys think? Would it stay on?
Does anybody have a bottle of the coating material I could try some test keys in?
