Did you change the oil and is the dipstick in the safe zone?

remove the spark plugs and use a 1-1/4 socket to manually turn the engine using the crank bolt. see if you can find the noise point.

did you remove the starter and inspection cover over the torque converter. if so- take this back off first, as its easy to get it on crooked and the flex plate will hit it. i did this and it made a helluva racket.

How long was it apart for? Is the sound like a rod knock or more like a lifter tapping?
