Noisy motor before Tstat opens?? The sound reminds me of an upper engine noise...as if the top of the head wasnt being oiled properly. The oil pressure is great, so I dont think that is the case.
The car is a '98 Trans Am.
The motor was replaced with a 30,000 mile motor (by a site sponsor)
I have a SES light.
The car has Mac headers, SLP dual/dual, ORY, Yank Y3000...but no internal mods.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

I am pretty sure it's not piston slap, because it seems that the motor has developed this problem since it's install.
Also from time to time I hear a popping sound comming from somewhere...almost like a cork gun. Very hard to describe. It kinda sounds like the sound is comming from the Y-pipe.
Any more ideas?
