Engine whine after warm I had my 2000 Z in storage for 5 years and just brought it back out this summer. I changed out the oil/filter, fluid in the M6, diff lube, swapped out the brake fluid, and primed everything. Everything pretty much went well minus some aching and groaning from the suspension for a bit as it sat on jackstands the whole time. It turned 30k on the drive up.
It runs fine, etc., but if I drive the car for over ~30 min, it starts to whine. It is pretty loud and almost sounds like a gear drive. It is not when the car gets up to operating temp - it has to be good and warm. If I drive it harder and get everything heated up quicker, the whine comes in quicker. It is directly related to engine RPM. It doesn't matter what gear I am in, whether the clutch is in/out, how fast I am going, etc. More RPM=more whine.
TIA to anyone who can help out. I'd like to take it to a show & go over July 4th to see what it will run, but need to figure this out first.
