I have a 98 ford escort with a endura 1300 engine with a very loud rattle noise i have replaced rockers and shaft to no avail i would say it's more of a clanking noise than a rattle?

If it increases with engine speed, check all of the valve springs and make sure one or more is not broken if not the problem, risk pins or rod bearings are most likely the problem.

When you start your Renault sceinic there is a rattle noise which only lasts for seconds then stops.. if you turn it off and start it again it is fine the year is 56 1598 engine and is the dynamic?

If your rattling noise is coming from behind the dashboard it may be to do with the heater/fan box, replaced a couple. If the noise is coming from the engine bay, then I`d suggest checking oil level first, if it`s a bit low it can take longer to reach the top of the engine on initial start-up, causing it to rattle. Otherwise, take it to a mechanic who you trust...

What causes exhaust pipe metal sounding rattle from right rear of 1981 Corvette automatic at 1300 rpm in any gear but no rattle in neutral?

You need to check all the exhaust pipe hangers, one of them is letting the exhaust rattle against something. Also check muffler heat shield it could also be loose. When transmission in engaged in any gear the engine is torqued to the right, so that is moving the exhaust ( it is attached to the engine so it moves with the engine )into a position to rattle, in neutral the engine is sitting evenly in its mounts so no rattle. May want to check engine and trans mounts too.

1986 jeep Comanche makes a rattling sound when you try to start it?

I had a similar problem with mine. As well the engine would rattle just after stepping on the gas only. I suspected rocker arms. Retorquing them did help with power but did not solve the problem. After tearing things apart, and my truck dying, I discovered the cause of the problem, the connecting rod bearings. 2 bearings where spinning and one was fused to the crank. The slop in these bearings was making all the noise. Interestingly the rattle always sounded like it was coming from the back of the engine or on the passenger side of the engine, not the bottom where I would have expected it to be coming from. I hope that helps.
