Hi, While driving this afternoon all of a sudden I heard a strange noise from the back, it sounded like a sort of "shrieky whistle" and increased with giving more throttle. First thing that came to mind was the blowoff from the cooling, caused by a blown head gasket, so I stopped immediately... My coolant was still in the system, under pressure and the blowoff hose was dry. My oillevel was still right and there was no foam evident on the oil... I guess I can rule out the headgasket... The temp on the Gauge was on the "7:30"position, where it's been all day (runnning the A/C and driving no faster than 50mph... When I listen in the engine bay and give throttle at the spool the sound seems to come from the left front, with the covers down it sounds like it's coming from the right rear :-S My belts are both intact and under the right tension, the fins on my Alternator are all straight and don't hit anything... Could this "whislte" come from an exhaust gasket? I have a leaky gastket between the right hand manifold and block nearest the X-over pipe (will be fixed after next weekend), could a gasket be "whistling"? I really don't feel comfortable with my car right now; I drove it home as it was only 20 miles, so a tow would be easy if neccesary. The sound went away after a couple of miles, but returned when I drove into my neighbourhood... Next weekend there's an event I'm supposed to go to, but that's 125 miles from here, so I'd like to know what this could have been before I drive off, running the risk of something REALLY going kaput. I'm under my car anyway next wednesday, as I'm installing an extra speed sensor on the driveshaft then, so I'd like to know where I should look. It'd be a real shame if I had to get into my '92 Nissan next week, to drive around next to cars that are 10 to 15 years older :-( Thanks up front, JAN van de Wouw Thinking Different... Using a Mac...
