3.8 Engine

twigly1 · 08-30-2004, 09:39 AM

I just bought a 95 Mustang conv. with 42,000 miles. The car runs great and looks like new, but the first start in the morning I hear a noise that sounds like a bearing rattle for about 1 or 2 seconds, the car carrys high oil pressure and I don't hear the noise again until it sits over night. I have driven the car about 1500 miles and it doesn't seem to get worse, any ideas, thanks for the help. Twig!!

Not sure it may be trash in a lifter. Try putting a cleaner in. Good luck and hope you enjoy your car.
