I have the vehicle listed above gsr b18c. Well, it started out sounding like just the valves ticking, then it started to overheat. I put more oil in and the ticking quieted some. Then not sure but the noise sounded bad so my mind went to the thought of a spun bearing but it will start up for a second then shut off but still makes noise. All this stemmed from the two cam seals leaking and that other cam seal that looks like a delete located next to the distributor. I feel like it needs a bottom end rebuild or just the rod bearings and valves done. Help

Hi,

It could be a head gasket issue and several other things. Is it possible for you to record what it's doing so I can hear and see what's happening?

In the interim, here is a link you may find of interest. It discusses common engine noises. Take a look through it.

Let me know if you can record it.

Take care,

Joe
