Let me know what you guys think.
It's sortof a rattle (like knocking) - you can most clearly hear it in the first part of the video where I am pushing in and letting out the clutch - https://photos.app.goo.gl/gAswtVyc4z5sNFpv2 |

humfrz' favorite topic to give me shit about, 'neutral rollover.' He doesn't like that it has a name he didn't already know about. The flywheel is already about as light as it can be and still keep the engine idling relatively smoothly. It still transmits the firing pulses through to the transmission and, since the gears all rotate freely when it's in neutral, they actually do rattle a bit.
Perfectly normal. Welcome to life with a small high-compression engine.
