Hey all, I tried searching but descriptions are so variable, and I couldn’t find any videos with a similar noise.
Today I went to start my car and run it for a bit, it’s currently parked for the winter, and I managed to get a good video (attached) of the noise I’ve been experiencing. Any input is greatly appreciated. It drives fine, runs strong, but this noise just doesn’t sit well with me.
It’s a 99 WS6 with 105,000 kms

 

Dont see an attachment

 

Turns out my video is too large actually. My bad. I’ll have to host it on YouTube and share the link

 

Quit starting your stored car all winter. Not only does it serve no purpose, but all it does is cause harm. Put fuel and oil stabilizer in it and leave it alone, do not touch it again until you’re ready to pull it out for spring.

 

I’ve heard many opinions on this before. I don’t do it every week or anything, but it’s been sitting since October 1, and it was a beautiful day out so I figured it wouldn’t hurt to let it run for half an hour.
Either way, the noise is there whether I’m using it daily or not. I tried to upload the video to YouTube but I keep getting a channel creator error message so it’ll probably have to wait until tomorrow.

 

finally got the video uploaded. Hopefully this can put my mind at ease. After running for a few minutes it’s quiet, no misfires, no SES. I have been told the early LS1’s are quite noisy when cold, I’m just trying to figure out what’s normal noise and what isn’t. Thanks!

 

Hello,
Pull one of your ecm fuses out and crank until you have oil pressure, then refuse and start it.
Sounds like bled down lifter noise. If you have clean-good oil not much else to worry about.
Hope that helps.

 

Thanks for the reply. But the noise started after running for about a minute. After a few minutes it went away, so in any experience I’ve had a lifter should make noise right from start up. I was told it may be EGR or AIR related
