The Car: 1998 DX Hatchback with manual tranny. Miles: 171000
The Problem: During heavy acceleration the engine makes a very audible grinding/tearing noise. The noise is louder then the after market exhaust. Also makes noise during deacceleration. Engine is Stock. The noise comes from the engine area not the tranny. It tends to have a favorite rpm but i can't tell which rpm's because DX doesn't have a tach. Thank you.
P.S. Im hoping its some secret super extreme budget v-tec that activates with motors age.
