I’m sure this may have been discussed before, but new to 3v’s so wanted to ask anyways-
I have a 2010 gt with 167k on the odometer
the car runs completely fine, no rough idle or acceleration.
When starting up, the car sounds normal. Its only when the car gets to full idle temp, I can hear a tapping noise (not the injectors). I’ve used a mechanics stethoscope and have not been able to locate any difference in noise. The noise is audible in the car, and underneath/in wheel well. When I press the gas to about 1500 rpm I can no longer hear it but it comes back immediately when it drops.
I have to assume this is oil pressure related due to this, and have seen that this could be vct knock which is normal if its only when warm and does not follow rpm. Is there any way I can open the engine up to make sure of this?
