Hey guys,
I was talking to lwarrior in another thread because he was curious about my project 02 GT. I haven't really done much to this car because I recently got wedded to my wife and I just happened to purchase the car right around the time I got engaged. I also haven't changed the oil, or fixed any problems on it.
Here is the main issue with the vehicle. The car makes a metallic sound when the rpms shoot up to around 1500 rpm and quiet around 3200 rpm. The motor feels strong but is hurt in some way. I purchased a oil pressure gauge to hook up to oil pressure sender but I haven't had time to do it. I wanted to see if the oil pressure is erratic indicating that it could be bottom end problem. I am hoping that its not rod knock. I rather it be a collapsed lash adjuster or rocker then a engine bearing. Other then that the car does have exhaust leak where the mid pipe and cat back mate together. The engine has 104k so its still very young. Here is video of the issue below, I took this video last year in the winter.
