Tapping getting louder. Can’t pinpoint and have tried stethoscope to no avail.

I’m at work I kinda skimmed this… will come back to it. Is there any videos I could watch about this?

Search Youtube - @iamdub has thorougly laid it all out for you so not sure why you even need a video. What you need is a breaker bar, socket and perhaps an extension. Autozone, advance auto parts, oreillys etc should have these tools.

In the meantime, make the indexing mark then start it up then shut it off. If you either can see the mark but its displaced by say 90 degrees or cant see it all, indicating you rotated the engine ~180 degrees relative to where you started, you should be able to view your entire flex plate that way. Will take a few start/stops but you'll eventually get visibility to the entire flexplate and know if its cracked or not.

Don't skim through it. You'll miss a lot and get confused as you've gotten already over the past few replies. Access this thread on your phone or save the text from our replies on your phone and follow it step-by-step when you're under your car. It's more words than work.

Nothing's gonna make sense if we lay it out for you to do steps A, B, C, D, E, F... if you're only gonna see steps A and D.

I know; I was just working. I am reading it now. I said I’d come back and read it thoroughly…

And for instance, I was pretty sure little things like the maf sensor are different from 13 and 14

Same sensor since at least 2009. 23256991.

My next question would be,
Can I turn the crankshaft from the pulley just by using a ratchet? And does the belt have to be off? Does it have to be in neutral with parking brake on?

Here’s another video of me shifting through park and other gears etc

The noise matches rpm or seems to
