gsr at about 120K miles . . .
i/e flywheel/clutch/ itr tranny
i was pretty hard on the car before it started, and then drove it softly to the nearest acme parking-lot.
it sounds like i have a piece of metal moving in my block alittle bit at idle ( idles fine at like 750-900) but at higher rpms 2k and higher the noise is just louder and louder . . called AAA and parked it

the day before i checked the oil level and it was fine . . now my oil is gone and black . . . what could it be ??

it started just after i had moved from a stop light and when its got up to higher rpms i could feel it at the gas pedal, clutch and brake pedal, like a vibration, then i could really hear it and feel it at the floor, then i parked it and a friend looked at it, he said he thinks its a bearing and its in the bottom end . . . it sounds horrible


it sounds like metal rattling around as i rev it higher. . . its hard to explain it better

 

is it like a tapping sound? if so, that's probably from oil starvation. the top end (cams and rocker) are dry. find out where your oil's going and do a leakdown check.

 

yea kinda a tapping, but worse like not valve tap really more like a rock giggling around in the lower block its reall bad and i may even make a video if i decide to start it before i start tearing it down . . .

 

ok so me and 743 took my oil pan off and one of the bafflings on my 10-94oil pan was off and the welding came off . . . here are pics

check your oil pump see if the oil pump gear is fine. might need to tear it apart.

 

damn, yea well its shitty welding from 10-94 that made this happen . . .


how should i clean out the shavings in my engine besides tearing it down ??

i have seafoam to maybe flush out the engine after i put everything back together . .
