What is tyhat crackling sound coming from the engine after you turn off the car?, is it oil dropping on my heat shields?

 

Probably just the contraction of the sheet metal as it cools.

 

Oil dripping on the heat exchangers sound like "psss psss pssss" not crackling! :-)


Its just all the bits of the engine cooling down and moving around. A 911 engine expands from 1/8 to 1/4" in width from stone cold to running temperature. When you take one apart you start to realize that the expansion abilities are built in ; i.e. some of the gaskets are designed to slide etc. When the engine is cooling down its contracting and hance the noises....

I'd check your mother-in-law as being a potential source of that cackling sound...

 

I only get that noise from the front of my car!

 

rice krispies !

 

lol

 

maybe Hillary is hiding in your garage......waiting to take your car?

 

perhaps gremlins???

 

It's probably one of those Duraflame firelogs.

 

its better to have a 993 making gremlin sounds than a Gremlin making 993 sounds

 

thanks guys, so I should rest at ease?

 

not if Hillary is in your garage. other than that, rest easy

 

Your car is cackling that you're about to blow a wad of cash because the valves will wear out, the condenser will fail, and the alternator will blow all in the same week.

Oh, that's MY nightmare.... 8^)

 

cackling is cause Halloween is nigh on us. Once that holiday is past, things will return to normal.
Did a new broom mysteriously appear in your garage??
