Has anyone who's had the recall done noticed a slight whining noise after the replacement?
I'm not sure if this is a new noise or if it was pre-existing and I just didn't notice it. I'm leaving on a 1500 mile trip on Saturday so paranoia is setting in....

Mine rattles a bit, I'd say less "whiney" than the CP4 was though.

You're going to hear some gear train noise.

I think I'll check the pump with my stethoscope to see if the noise is coming from it.

Mine had a little gear whine. It seems to have gone away over time.

Thanks. That seems to be exactly what I'm hearing, a slight gear whine. I guess it makes sense, the gear inside the timing case was mated to the CP4 gear and "worn" in over time.
