Got the car home today. Battery is dead so I didn't bother checking anything, after 8 hours of driving I was exhausted.

The motor is said to make a "faint" tapping. So possibly a rod knock but still said to run fine.
Even the trans was supposedly recently replaced or rebuilt. When I pull it out I'll see if I can tell.

And Chris, I blame this '98 on you... lol. At the meet remember I was saying I didn't want a 98 and you said something along the lines "well if one is put in front of you for 1500 bucks, you're not gonna say no..." well, I obviously didnt say no, haha.
