im sure he is meaning an exaust gasket . inspect your pipes for blackened parts witch would indicate a leak or your flex pipe is breaking or it could be your valves

when my motor was sounding like that i needed oil. i just put in the needed oil and it sounds like a new motor.the dumb girl that i bought it from had it a quart low. dont get me wrong there are some girls that are smart about car like my g/f its just rare that u meet one of thoes

Ummm...please tell us you checked your oil before you posted?

[Shadohh]

when you say diesel noise? Are you talking about tapping or tickticktick from the head?


If so, its your HLAs. Go get GUNK engine cleaner. and change your oil. I also recommend going to a semi synthetic. dino oil sucks.

Ice, if your oil pump needs replacing, surely this is why your engine is showing the classic signs of low oil-pressure?.uzzled:
