Does it go away when you rev it or does the engine just drown out the sound? _____________________________ 89 LX RIP 89 GT 5.0L Beater.

I was thinking the same as you are is the car making a puffing sound or a metal on metal ticking sound? _____________________________ 88' 5.4L Mustang GT (with a little work done to it) (in reply to zkit18) Post #: 5
