2017 GT with a new rattle ticking sound at around 2K. Can anyone help identify?

I wish I could take it back to the builder but it was me.
I had a bent rod, replaced the rod and piston. All new piston rings and rod bearings, gaskets and arp bolts.

Here’s the audio of it driving last week when I first noticed it.

Audio quality isn't the best on my phone but it sounds like you're going to have to tear it down again

I agree. This is pretty definitive.

Yikes. A big live and learn lesson there unfortunately. I've done stuff as bad back in my early gearhead days. Hang in there and double/triple check everything if you're gonna attack it again.

Yeah, It will be interesting to see what went wrong. I’m guessing a bearing. I’ll probably wind up upgrading something while I’m in there. This is an expensive hobby.

Keep us posted. I'm curious what you find.
