Hey guys. I have an 88 5.0, bone stock with 91,000 miles. When I got the car a couple weeks ago it had a little bit of a lifter tap, so I changed the oil and the noise went away. For a couple days everything sounded absolutely fine.
So I was driving to school last night and the engine started making this weird noise once it got hot, the best I can explain it as is driving on wet pavement. It's not loud or anything, and at certain rpms the exhaust makes it impossible to hear. However, no matter what the engine speed is or if the car is moving or not it makes no different, same noise. I've tried taking video but my phone can't pick it up very well because the noise is faint, and the exhaust is the only thing you can hear in the video.
Under the hood it sounds like it's coming from the passenger side, and behind the distributor. It's so strange.. I suspect it's the water pump or some other accessory but I can't tell. I doubt it's the p/s pump because it's on the complete opposite side of the engine bay. I wan't to go mass air, and gt40 top end with a cam and injectors.. but with this I don't feel comfortable doing it. Has anyone ever had this problem? Thank you!
