i have that whirring noise too, which is the release, but this happens at random times, after i pull up, then switch engine off and back on, sometimes it makes the noise, sounds like bottom end, like a heavy knocking. | |

really loud?, sunded as if something was caught in a fan, like if u stick a piece of plastic in a fan and it started ticking like fuck, then faster you accelerate the faster it ticks, | |

someone on another site suggested ive lost a stud from the manifold? although i cant see why that would cause that noise, then stop making the noise when the cars cooled | |
