Hey thanks guy's for all the suggestions, just logged on here now...been work'n late everynight...
So these are common for piston slap....hummmm car is a 99 with 160,000 miles, few weeks ago I heard "something", sounded like bottom end noise but was'nt sure. week later he told me it overheated on the way home (never did this before) so I assumed it was the waterpump...previous sound seemed to come from the drivers side front area. When I pulled off the front end I found that the belt, idler & water pump had recently been replaced. Had a journeyman mechanic come over & listen & he figures it's bottom end. But you guys could be right piston slaps a possibility.
But I don't know why it overheated...could be a relay or sensor...will have to look into further....THANKS AGAIN!!!!
oh it is dohc...can I swap any motor in it's place???????
