Weird Noise coming from the Optispark...

At idle my car has a weird sound coming from the optispark (no belt and i was listening with a long screw driver :P so i am 100% sure its the opti) The sound is almost like a whine and is gone as soon as i rev up the engine past 1k. Any ideas what it might be?

It could be that you just cannot hear it after the revs get higher. I guess possibilities are cam dowel too long or there might be a screw loose inside that is rubbing. There have been reports of some new optis that had screws that were not tight.
