What does it sound so terrible?

So, what exactly is your question? Not sure what your dislike is.
I might be a little more concerned about the smoke towards the end of that video, pretty excessive, is it white and does it smell sweet?

 

Yeah it smells sweet. I have to replace the coolant about once a week. I guess what i'm really asking is does the metallic guttural sound(not normal exhaust burble) have anything do do with the smoke?

 

Well quit worrying about the exhaust and fix your head gasket leak before you loose an engine, as in quit driving it today and find a shop.

 

I think seconds 7--19 sound good, it's 20 -- 26 when the coolant starts to vaporize in the combustion chamber that's messin' with the sound.

I'll agree with Mike, STOP, I can't watch that again.

p.s. that light blue haze is your oil that lubes your piston being washed awy with the steam.

Head gasket...

 

thats the sound of slow death

 

Alright thanks for the info. I took it to the shop about one month ago for an o2 sensor, I also told them to check the head gasket but they said it was okay. Guess not though, I'm going back.

 

No way to "check" head gaskets.
Either they leak or they dont.

 

That sucks, sorry

Like spike said, if they didn't know of a problem there's not much to check without a teardown.

If there's any question now, show them the video, I have to say, that was effective.

please let us know what the quote is & how it turns out
(new head bolts are required)
