so, long story short I went yesterday evening for a drive to test the FBO ignition I had just switched after my orange box gave up while warming the car (I was lucky to be home), and I started to hear some noise that wasn't there before right after I fired the engine.
I thought it was just in my head, so I left the garage and went down the street and heard a big bang, which almost gave me a heart attack, I slowly drove back home and parked the car.
Today, I had to bring my daughter to an event 10min from home, and I started to get those noises again, I just got back home and will wait for the car to cool down, will start removing valve cover to check rockers, and from there go to the oil pan.
the noise is not constant, or at least I don't hear it all the time, and now that I think about it, I wonder if it is a bent exhaust valve, not sure.
I hate when I'm speaking in a video, but I made some videos while driving, and sorry for the accent
before you ask, you might see on the video the oil pressure gauge at 0, is is because it doesn't work! the summit gauge only worked for 1 year...
1 - while driving...
2 - driving back home...
3 - while parked at home...
