Hello friends.


Got my 95 gs-t back from the shop today. The timing belt had snapped on it bending all 16 valves. A thousand dollars later, I have my car back with a weird top end noise at low rpms. Engine is quiet and feels balanced after 3000 rpms. The noise sonds like its coming from the camshafts. Kinda sounds like they're rattling. As soon as you revv it up past 3000rpm.. it gets quiet.

No idling problems.
Good compression.
Good power.
Just dont like that nasty noise.


I usually do all my own mechanic work but in this case, I didnt have the time nor was I healthy enough to do the work... I just found out today that the mechanic had never worked on a DSM before. (information I could have used before I let him tear it up.)

Either way. I will do the work this time. Just wanted yawls feedback on it.


Thanks in advance
