Alternative to Rod Knock?!

Where to start,

Any issue starting the car ?
Have you done a compression test?
Have you done a Hydrocarbon test?

Have you listened to the engine with a stethoscope ?

Any OBD2 codes ?

2018 is still under warranty, Take it back to the dealer, Its their problem

Appreciate the follow-up. No issues (starting, running, or codes) with the car other than the noise; compression test not terribly long ago was aces across the board; no HC test; don't own a stethoscope, but feel like it's a good investment - I'll have to look those up.

As Trevor noted, I'm not sure the dealership will look kindly on my puttering about with it.. The mechanics might think it's fun, but I'm sure I know what the answer will be regarding warranty. lol I mean, it's still a Toyota engine under 3 year and 60,000 kms...! Still no, huh? Well fine.

Drive a 2ZR swap and you'll understand why it was such a motivator to tinker. Also, the swap hadn't been done on a 3rd gen. or with a Valvematic, so I figured I'd might as well dabble..
