Beware! 1G4g63t

[twisted954]

I fail to understand how this warrants a thread. I don't have a forum I can go to and complain about every instance someone has a for sale thread and the items are not quite in the condition they were described. I simply turn them down or make another offer based on actual condition...that's how you buy used stuff.

Did you check the harmonic balancer?

[1G4g63t]

no the harmonic balancer is something I haven't checked. but the car is for sale now locally but I'm going to continue searching out the sound but it comes from the transmission side of the engine not the front

[turbotalon1g]

Sounds like 2 people that don't know what they are talking about are trying to fight each other about who knows what is going on.

Either way, I hope you both see your way out of the DSM community with bad attitudes. Grow up and admit you don't quite know and find out, if not just leave.

I bought the car from him, real nice guy, flexed on the price and I have had ZERO hiccups with the car. It is not a rod knock, I listen to it every day. :blind:

Thanks for sharing.

What is the mystery noise then?

[bjohn]

I'd call it a weird rattle at around 2500-2800 RPM. It seems like the engine is hitting a harmonic vibration at that point, could be a throwout bearing? Or even a heat shield as mentioned. Its not a rod knock whatever it is.

Hows my baby doin? by the way I realized you left without the spare throttle body

[bjohn]

Its all good so far, feel free to mail it to me with the spare keys if you'd be so kind! You have my address. :drive:

Maybe a spun balance shaft bearing?
