3rd Super Mario Bro
Title is very irrelevant to the real subject, but I did get rear ended in my dad's car today! Not to happy haha...
Anyway, since the end of this coldness (in Chicago at least) is just a few months (hopefully less!!) away, I decided to bring my car out of hibernation. As some of you might recall, just before winter this year, I had a little uh-oh with my db1. Shifting from 3rd to 4th, I accidentally jammed it into 2nd and released the clutch, causing the engine to rev wayyy up to redline. And quickly too. After that I was getting a tick from what sounded like the valve cover.
I have ruled out a rod knock because it is a constant, steady ticking that never changes or dies out. That leaves me to believe it is a valve issue.
I know my way around a car, but this is just a little bit too much for me, so I'm hoping I might be able to get some suggestions before I have the local perf. shop take a looksee. Obviously not looking for any specific answers, but maybe a past experience similar to this. I haven't driven this baby in 2 months and it kills me inside to drive my father's Saturn around!! Let me know your thoughts guys, and sorry for the long post :shock:
*Keeping fingers crossed*
