almost sounds like a broken exhaust manifold bolt. Check the rear one(s) drivers side. Sounds is a bit different then mine, which has this issue, but guessing that is the cause.

From one Joe to another.LOL(We share the same name). Thanks for listening, I hope that's all it is.What about the Oil pressure? Is that normal?

:iagree:

Oil Pressure? Not sure, no reference in video so not sure what your experiencing. In my case I have not seen a change to the oil pressure with the busted manifold bolt, certainly the sound you are experiencing.

if your seeing an oil pressure issue may be some other issue then the manifold bolt. Given the sound cadence with throttle check your belts, pulleys, and tension otherwise I''m guessing your in the motor and I'll leave that to far more knowledgable folks to troubleshoot.

exhaust leak..

if you listen.. you can get the timing to it.

check your header bolts...


seems to be a rash of these popping up again

Make sure you get the updated header bolts from GM when you change them.

I've got this sound as well.

Actually just checked mine. Drivers side rear bolt on manifold was indeed loose. And it will not tighten. Looks like it's broken. Sigh

Ditto.Now I have an excuse to have my entire exhaust upgraded.Headers on back. Just have to find someone to do the work.
