Just bought the Stealth TT, after getting on it a few times one night (no real launches, just a few fun runs around 75%) and a long drive, it sounded like a few marbles rattling around in the motor at idle, and oil pressure down very low... rattling sound was BAD and would come and go on a small rev getting bad at idle... This was on fresh oil with less than 1000 miles on the oil... I was sure it is a spun bearing, but it was not as bad after I restarted the car hours later or the next day, and I put new fresh oil in the next day and it sounds normal now and my oil pressure is still there, but at high RPMs the engine will raise hell so I am just taking it easy on her until I can get it looked at. So is this the beginning of my spun bearing mod? How long could I baby it before it is gonna sound like the youtube video of those rednecks revving the crap out of the TT and it sounded like pounding the block with a hammer, and I lose all oil pressure? Also, if it's already too late and I need a rebuild, what can I hurt by still driving it until it dies? Thanks!
PS: oil pan is not dented.....
