Wow that’s a lot of play! Duly noted to check, thanks.Well, that sucks. Steve, I recently discovered a similar noise on an '02 which turned out to be a worn main crank thrust bearing. I posted on the 2002 FAQ a few months ago with pictures. You can easily get a preview (before disassembling anything) of that by eyeballing the crank axial play. Mine was like 1/8-3/16" when it should be nearly imperceptible by eye.
