Mine has developed a rattle also. I just changed the oil, adjusted the valves, and added a oil bypass filter. The rattle seemed to get lot louder and worse. I can't narrow it down. Afraid my injector/s are going south. I don't know what else to check. Can u get the injectors checked?

Check the injector hold down clamps and make sure thy are tight, especially #4. Injector rattle just seems to get worse with age. Likely it is the spray pattern chaning over time that is causing it.

FYI, just because one has new injectors does not mean they won't rattle. Depending on how the injectors are balanced and setup it may still rattle, custom tips or stock.
