fonky engine sounds
hey so this pass week i have been driving the car when i get on it and im in say high rpms. it sounds like if you have a bassball card in a bike and it makes the click sounds. and then i was trying other things. i was on high way and i left in 3rd and was at 5000rpm and was just a little on gas so no boost and the motor sounds likes that. but not as loud when on it. is this normal or what like its really not normal sounds. help help any resoning.

No. If it is a clicking or "phitt" sound that is repeating over and over (i.e. click, click, click, or phitt, phitt, phitt) then I would lean towards a small crack type leak in the exhaust. Check all connections - Turbo to DP, DP to Cat, Cat to Cat-back, and the muffler. Where is this sound coming from front (engine), middle (cat-cat back), or rear (muffler area)?

deff in the engin pay it sounds like and on the right side. way can it be that line going to turbo the recall part. i dont think so. you dont think headers are cracked or anything. but it sounds more like its the motor it self. not the exhaust. i will cheack tho.

Ah, how bad/loud is it? Could be knock or worst case - mine you worst case - a bent rod or something else internal.
The recall on 05s was for a coolant hose that could break, (unless there is another one out there that I havent seen).
Does this happen at idle? Go to the engine bay and rev it up using the TB. Try to locate where it is at. If its under the valve covers then its engine, if its from the headers, could be the gasket.
Still have the warrenty? Just take it in to the dealer - given I dont like that option either, but they should cover it.

I have blown up engine before just from just driving. My 96 Impala SS had a manufacture defect in a bearing (LT1). The ended up freezing and that ending that engine. But as I said earlier - thats a worst case scenrio.
