Well just as I was starting to feel confident in the GTV6 and on my birthday no less a soft at first metal to metal banging started as I stopped for a light. It went away after a second or two and did not return on my 1/2 mile finish to the trip.
On the way home it started again with a vengeance. As I revved above 2G it was loud and very nasty. Nursed it the 1.5 miles home and if I was gentle it would not return. Same on the way to work this AM and I was very gentle so not to make it worse.
Pulled into the shop this PM and started it and no noise at idle and starts fine with no strange noises. I popped the hood and as I put throttle to it I saw a shower of aluminum metal chips come from behind the engine from some where around the bell housing. Shut it down and cursed and took the Oldsmobile home.
Any suggestions where to start? Could a bolt of come loose or where would it start causing interference at higher revs?
**** , I was hoping to get Greg's hose put on this weekend and some valve covers changed. Not the kind of birthday present I wanted.
Any help or ideas would be appreciated.
