all clear...maybe

ok so I was pissed off at my car on Saturday and decided to see what hell was really causing all that racket. so I put the car up on jack stands.
wired it so I could rev it while I was under the car (pleas don't try this at home, unless you are a fucking idiot like me). turned on the car and revved the engine to see if I could hear that god dam sound.
ah I found it, one of the sheet metal shields that cover the exhaust has rusted a bit and had broken and was rattling and rubbing agents the bottom of the engine. so ever time I revved the engine the the flex plate would flex, which would cause the sheet metal to rub.
so tada ripped that one off and life is good again. but what the hell is that whistling sound t 3kRPM?
theory, one its the cams or its the air intake?
who knows?
oh yah one more thing before I go and accidentally drive over my self,
went to Wal-Mart to buy wax for the car two weeks ago. found this stuff, engine restore. looks like crap and doesn't taste too good either but I dropped it in works great for old engines.
ok that's that ok take care every one
