    method that works even better than just a hose....... stick a screwdriver into a piece of hose with the end sticking out.... use the hose only end on your ear...

    Or it might be...

     



    the vibration damper!

    It's one of those parts you seem to forget when building an engine.

    I had one go bad and it only made noise under acceleration so it was hard to diagnose when standing still.
