A clacking noise recently only while the car was very cold, had started to linger a bit and I also noticed my "knock count" was capturing what I thought was phantom knock. Today I noticed the tensioner bearing would jump a little when I heard the "clack". I replaced the tensioner bearing and the noise is now gone. The old bearing although didn't "feel" like it grind when I spun, it definitely was noisy. A stock Fiat engine tensioner and I would definitely have replaced it. I will confirm for sure after the car has fully cooled down over night.
Just an FYI for the other k20 swappers here...Since we don't have a dedicated engine swap forum section, the rest of you have to read it too...:whistle:
