Some of you probabrly read my thread where I installed the Scanmaster .... plenty of knock ...
Anyway, seems like I have some rattling noice when the car sits at ideal (in Park) but when you rev the engine it kind of follows the rev of the engine. Sounds like something is loose somewhere at lower back part of the engine.
Anyway, took off the crossover pipe and that one was secure and no leaks, also remove the cover over the turbine and same thing secure. Looks like all the bolts for the flexplate and turbine are there and secure but like to see if I can make sure, the 3 bolts holding the turbine to the flexplate can I just remove them and bush the turbine out of the way to get to the 6 (or 8) bolts holding the flexplate to the crank?
Also any ideas what else could cause the rattling sound, defenitly sounds like something is loose and rattles. Checked started, downpipe and other bits but can't find anything. If the motor mounts are dead would they start making a sound at idle? Anything in the engine would make that kind of sound, I would expect that to make a more distinct sound ...
Engine runs smooth at idle (below 1000 rpm) and is not all over the place so the engine itself is not moving around a lot at all. And if I rev the engine a bit (1500-2000 rpm) it lifts just slightly on the driver side but not much at all.
Looked for leaking headers as well but does not look like it's been leaking anyware.
Any ideas, suggestions is more than welcome as I will continue tomorrow.
