What does it sound like? I had a constant low knocking noise on my Saleen and at first was told that the superchargers are just loud like that. Then I was told it was the fuel injectors. And then my motor blew up a few days ago at 6800 miles lol.

If you can, be a bit more descriptive and we'll see if we can get to the bottom of this.

I hope he won't share your experience, lol.
After your ordeal, the OP should park his car right away and figure this schit out first.

Dig into that motor deep lol. It was the Saleen tech who told me it was injectors and not to worry.

siggyfreud,

It sounds and feels just like a bad a/c compressor with a vib also. It does not sound like a knock but you never know the guy at saleen said its normal but i dont think so.Do the screws rotate on bearings?? maybe I have a bad bearing.

thanks,

pascal

If you have a vibration, it's bad news.
Most likely, too much stress on the crank...

I'm no expert with blown cars but those are bad symptoms.
Have the car looked at by an engine builder or someone familiar with hi-po stuff.
Screw Saleen, all you'll hear is the same old BS...

Good luck.
