Unhappy Sick LS1



So sadly among the great photo's and a happy welcome and new member there is more behind the scene than meets the eye

The guy i bought my car off of really screwed me on how bad he abused the engine of my car to the point where it took me an entire year to just get it inspected after nearly 4-5,000$ (cats,cluster unit,trans,airbag issue,new tail lights, new signal markers, new headlights) *tail lights,signal lights had bad water leak*

Anyway now thats in the past we still have some sad engine issues where the car does not run smooth nor sound like its running smooth, at high rpms and high gear the car has a weird rattling noise like a card in a bike spoke but more thick. the engine is misfiring i believe, you can hear a rattle come out of the exhaust after giving it a rev *sigh* here see for your self haha



VVV - the first video is the best of the noise in action BUT you need to turn volume up loud because the noise is hard to hear over the exhaust but you'll hear it best at 13-16seconds into the video its a rattle tick.

I'm 3 towns from him.. LOL

Funny thing is, people think I'm expensive but have no problem going to a local guy with limited knowledge of the car and throw parts at it. In the end they spend a hell of alot more $$ ussing them instead of just first going to us.
