I just did the Mystery oil on my car since I had a lifter that was clacking horribly. Didnt put in as much as they said to but the noise is gone and it went quickly. I am sold.

Similar noise in my 84S was resolved when I replaced TB, water pump, and TB idler bearings. I also replaced a noisy air pump that rattled like walnuts in a shaken coffee can.

PROBLEM FOUND!
It is "just" the alternator, whew gloomy ol heinrich had me worried! However 'just' the alternator, diagnosis, labor and all new belts everywhere except for for the TB = $820. I get it back tomorrow night.
IT COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE!
Thanks for all the help, to bad I don't have the time to do it myself.

But that is the way they do it in the mountains, you city boys may have a more modern method.....
