I have a rattle, it sounds metalic, and I am thinking it is the heatshield. I got under the sentra and pinged around with a wrench and it sounds the same,I tightened some bolts but I still get the same noise. anyone else have this and have you fixed it. I am starting to do alot of maintenance on my 98, the oil pan is leaking and my valve cover is leaking, I got a nissan gasket at the dealer for 14.00, I asked for a good price and he did, It was 24.00. the mechanic is going to do the pan for 90.00, and the belts for 64.00.

just remove the heat shields.. they always rattle on our cars.. should solve the problem

or you could bend the heat shield away from the exaust. either way works

Both good ideas. I tightly wraped fine stainless steel wire around my heat shield. Problem solved.

Just remove it. It also gets rid of a good portion of the annoying ass ticking you hear when you turn off your car and its cooling down. Im lucky to hear even one metal tick now.

I noticed one of the shield's is over the exhaust the shield the oil pan, will this cause the oil to increase temp if it is off?

psuLemon
