    I haven't got the cars back to my place yet.. I traded my cbr900rr sport bike for 2 GP GT's, a L67 engine(without supercharger), and a Suzuki 250r quad.. I'm picking them up Sunday afternoon so I will be working on the cars then.. Both cars have this noise but the other one is MUCH louder then what this one is..

    Once I get the cars back to my garage, I will check the oil for metal flakes. What's involved in replacing the bearings, if thats the case? I'm not the greatest with mechanical stuff but my brother is ASE certifified and will be helping me with this project

    You will not be able to replace bearings only. You'll need either new motors or to send those out to a machine shop to be rebuilt.

    Doing only bearings will almost always result in very few miles of happiness before the sound returns with vengenance.
