i noticed this whizzing noise when i reved while not in gear (above 3500 rpm), which i know is not the intake. could i have messed the head?

you know !! i have kind of the same thing going on in my civic, but i hear the noise after the car gets hot and i don't need to rev to get it to do it just being at idle

do you think it's got something to do with the head??

k i just talked to one of my friends whos a mechanic. he sais it would be a blown valve if there was a rough idle and/or when you rev the car the engine would shake...go normal...shake...go normal. he thinks it might be the flywheel

Have you had your valve clearances checked/adjusted? My valves are clicking loud as hell and I'm about to try getting together what I need to do my own valve job. But ya, after lots of hard runs and hitting my speed limiter a dozen times, my valves sound chatter pretty loud.

dood, you had a 5.0 and you still don't know anything about engines?? you're car wouldn't start if a coil was bad on the thing, first you've only got "1" coil if you've got a distributor on the engine....second, if you've got a coil pack and are running DIS then if one pack goes out it takes them all with it and you're done...no run no more.

If you dropped a valve...you'd know it also....lots of black/blue smoke from the tail pipe....no running motor...big kaboom when it happened since it would have blown a hole through the piston when it smacked it on it's way down into the cylinder.....

check the fuel system...first change the fuel filter and work from there.....check fuel pressure, etc and change your plugs and wires....a wire could be grounding out causing a ground fault loop whenever the engine revs (and tilts towards the short in the wire...causing the ground) just a few things to keep you thinking.....

COOL ..STACKZ..SAME THING ABOUT WHAT U ADVICED ON MIXING TRANSMISSION FLUID WITH MOTOR OIL RIGHT?

I think there's something seriously wrong with you 1955 you must not like good advise or something....transmission fluid is a detergent plain and simple, it WILL free rings, it's a known fact. You are just a very negative person. Shame on you.

ok,so the transmission fluid mixed with motor oil will fix the smokin problem at the tail pipe.if that guy take ur advice,u think the problem will stop or the engine will just quit? wonder if u read those advices from comic books or u are messin with our heads.

look I'm not pulling anyone's leg at all, and notice I told him not to run the engine over 500 miles with the tranny fluid in it and to do another quick flush to get the rest of it out....it just acts as a really badass detergent and will (A) clean a LOT of the gunk deposits from the inside of the engine out....which will be deposited in the oil filter and (B) be a low buck way to free those rings... I'd honestly try this first before going the expensive route...if you can save an engine now and start taking better care of it then why not instead of a costly rebuild.

We've done this with lots of cars (especially hondas, toyotas, and mazdas) and it works about 88% of the time...the rest of the time they are just too far gone and need new engines.

All I was doing was offering an alternative and you threw it back in my face.
