    All my speakers seem to be playing is a high pitched noise. Is that what you're referring to?

    It kinda does sound like a shifted gasket, but the engine is running pretty smooth from what I can tell. Break out the carb clean and spray around. If it's a vacuum leak, you'll find it.

    No question about it, that IS a vacuum leak. Sounds like an F-16 sitting on the tarmak!

    See if pulling your oil cap off makes a difference. Try tightening the upper intake manifold with the car running and see if that helps. If those don't help pull the belt off and start it and see if it helps.

    It's a 3100...trust us..that's a vacuum leak. Check the stupid connections at the top of the TB. Those are super easy to have leak.

    (Did anyone else have the vid open and think to themselves. I see the problem...it's a 3100. then the vid played.)
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
