ok i bought my 97 gst a few months back, and did the necessary maintenance. the car ran fine befroe doing the timing belt, no odd noises or out of the ordinary stuff EXCEPT it was idling like it was stuttering. So, being that i work at a parts store (carquest) i decided to go all out and replace everything i could think of. balance shaft belt, plugs (put NGK v-powers in), pulleys, wires, front motor mount, cleaned my k&n fipk, cam seals (they were leaking), valve cover gasket, water pump belt, and finally, the timing belt.
When i turned the crank to check the timing, i found it was two teeth off. I was drving like this for awhile being i didnt have time and i was in need of transportation. So long story short, i put everything together and now i have a strange sound coming from what seems like the balance shaft area. I say that because i cant pinpoint where its coming from, i checked all pulleys and the water pump and power steering pump. And last week, i started my car and it sounded like a loud banging for less than a minute, then i pop the hood and now it seems i have lifter tick and this other noise that ive been trying to diagnose. i will post a sound clip when i have a chance. Any ideas? theorys? tips? Help me out, please!
also, i notice it when it idles, i cant really notice it when driving, because of my exhaust and intake, it overtakes any noise, as anyone with a 3 inch exhaust knows.
