Hey Guys, lately I have been noticing what seems to be a bearing noise for the first few seconds of startup. And one time it went on for about 15minutes while I was driving.

I don't know why it is making this noice my guess is it is coming from one of the pumps?? It goes in conjunction with my Rev, so if i rev faster it speeds up, and It is NOT rod knock.


My car has 84k on it and know history of mechanical problems.

Thanks!

before you even go that deep check your belt tensioner pulley, you might have bad bearings or something
