Anyone notice a “clatter” sort of noise from the engine bay which increases with revving? I don’t believe it was there the first few hundred miles but seems to have started at around the 500 mile mark. I’m currently at about 800. Still trying to work within the breakin protocol.
Just going to throw it out there and then duck and cover, I was there with you about break-in, IMHO absolutely no harm in taking it easy until you complete it. There will be plenty of opportunity to work her hard when the time is right.

There have been many reports of strange noise from the engine, it there then its not, cold or warm they are not mechanically quiet, mine makes some strange noises still, even a new one from about 1 week ago... if they come and go or don't sound like the engine is about to explode then I ignore them as best I can, if I am really worried and if it is constant I go bug my tech at the dealer.

LOL! Don't worry Tom I am sure that soon you will hear the same things, respectfully, it is not like a tight small displacement Japanese built engine the barely sounds like it is running, oh no these 4.0l sound like no other that I have ever owned!

The engine noise is very nonlinear. Cold or at very low rpm it makes odd noises. In the low mid range under 4K it sounds differently from 4-6K. It's very deep accelerating above 3500 or so. That sounds absolutely fantastic. Cruising under light load it's pretty whiney. And all the time, it is very loud.

As are mine and the denizens of this board. Look at why we're here.
That's a beautiful spec, I hope you love it.
