ok, blew my original "d" series motor. had it replaced and left everything to stock.
for the past 4 months since i got the motor installed, i never raced it, RARELY took it to redline.
last night coming home, i hear this banging noise under the hood when i was on the fwy. it only happened when i hit the accelerator. got off the freeway and the car idled normally. this "noise" only happens when i accelerate, and it honestly sounds like there is some sort of a exhaust leak (im referring to the noise it is making....)
popped open my hood, blipped the throttle cable and the noise is DEFINATELY coming from the engine....
BUT the car idles perfectly normal....
anyone got ANY idea of what is going on here?
1 - Car makes funny noise under acceleration (kinda sounds like exhaust leak)
2 - Car idles normally
3 - when hood is popped and throttle cable "blipped" noise comes from inside engine.
ALSO .... when i got the "new" (used) engine installed, they told me i had to "re-torque" down the head bolts after 500 miles. I never did that....
could that be the problem?
Had the timing belt replaced when I had the new engine installed....
