Re: tin can sound

The "tin can sound" might also be the idler bearings for the a/c belt 
or less likely a bad water pump, usually they leak before the bearings 
go in them though. Another remote possability is that one of the 
covers by the flywheel got bent and is hitting the flywheel or torque 
converter. The best way to find the source of the noise is to jack up 
the car safely and have someone run it while you search underneath.
The timming could be way off or maybe the octane is very low, you are 
supposed to put 91 octane in. (See owner's manual for octane 
requirements)
