Big problem, please help
Ok. My car has never done this, but when I started it up this morning it was making this awful clicking noise. All gm pushrods, as far as I've seen, have made a very soft clicking noise when starting up, that's just how they are. However mine sounded 50 times louder today. Almost sounded like a damn diesel. And it has a hell of a time starting up when it is cold. I let it idle for 10 to 15 minutes, the noise goes away, and it drives fine..
What the hell?? please help

Well... similar thing happened to my g/f's sisters grand prix. It had the 3100 and it started leaking coolant (out the engine AND into the oil). They kept driving it like that and by the time 3 days went by the car had a spun bearing (or two or three) and we replaced the engine. Check your oil and make sure thats not where your coolant is going. Otherwise I don't know...

Coolant has taken over where the oil is supposed to be. Soon I will be just turning the damn thing on and watching it die. Hopefully it starts on fire like the one video of the CRX I watched. Anyways, soon to be a 3400 under the hood. So pissed right now.. time for some beer

tape it :goob:
throw some dirt and/or into the TB, start it up in nuetral with your foot to the floor and let it bounce off the rev limiter for about 15 seconds, I gaurantee some excitement. Step 2: Post the video here :goob:

you usualy see alot of twin cams with spun berings not alot of 3.1, lifters mabye but they make a scartching/ ticking noise, and thier a random chatter, if its a constant ticking probaly piston slap.
