I still haven't found out what the noise coming from my motor is. I talked to my dad about it saying how I don't want to damage the car and he tells me its fine. Lets assume that it is a spun bearing for a second. What will happen exactly if the engine decides to give out due to the bad bearings? I don't want to be running 70 down the highway and end up dead.
So... What can I expect to happen if I continue to drive this thing? I planned on taking it to the track in the next few weeks, but I'm not confident it will hold.
Also, the oil gauge is almost all the way to the right (like there's way too much oil pressure). And sometimes, I try to turn the car on and the motor just gives out. I was thinking this might be a starter problem, but the motor turns on and almost surges in a way. It will revv up to about 200 rpm, die back down, then revv up again, then die. After this it starts normally. I've been trying to figure out what it is, but I'm not sure what I should be looking for. Any info is helpful. Thanks guys.
