1993 GXE Engine noise top end when cold
Has anyone experienced a noise coming from the top end of a VG? It is heard best when cold and reved past 2K. It seems to be coming from the front left (when looking in the engine compartment from the front of the car).
It kinda sounds like an internal bearing noise. It has sort of a rattle to it. The sound seems to dissappear when the engine is fully warmed up. The car has 124K miles.

Or you could be having upper valvetrain lubrication problems. ie.. oil gallies getting plugged from sludge etc..
Or maybe your oil fliter's anti-drain back valve is leaking and not hold pressure well.

The oil looked terrible when I bought the car. Maybe it is sludgy. I suppose I would have to pull a valve cover to check it out.
I am using a FRAM oil filter.

At first I thought cam bearings, then I thought maybe it could be that variable timing thingamajiggy. I heard that ticks, not rattles.
Yeah funny thing about that, the VTC hardly EVER go bad on the VG. LOL!

I am guessing that means that VGs don't have VTC. Well, it rules one thing out.
You must be a VE driver.
