For pinpointing a noise I highly recommend a Mechanic's Stethoscope. Usually around $5 at harbor Freight. Search Harbor FreightI've been told you can also use a long screwdriver with the handle held to your ear or a 1-2' long rubber hose to listen through. There can be some scraping of the timing belt on the timing belt cover, a stuck lifter is a high pitch tapping, a broken EGR gasket mimics that and is basically and exhaust leak. Mine got a little quieter after changing to synthetic oil but that may have been a delusion. I thought I was headed for a rebuild on the Wife's '96 Geo when I found the EGR gasket problem with the stethoscope. My Geo had a stuck vacuum advance ticking similar to lifters. Now I spray carb/choke cleaner in the vacuum lines once in a while. |

Check oil, if slightly low fill to full with Marvel mystery oil. If full, change filter and fill to full with MMO. Drive a few hundred miles and change the oil. Clean it out a little bit. Engine sounds way too loud to me. |

Kind of sounds like the exhaust donut at the manifold is bad. Might be a good place to start. |

I think your mechanic is on the right track after listening to it. You have some lifter noise for some reason. Maybe worn lobes on the camshaft. |

Donut, or exhaust doughnut, is the big fiber o-ring that seals the exhaust manifold to the pipe dropping down off of it. (down pipe)![]() Cam shaft is what opens and closes the valves. It's connected to the crankshaft by a belt. ![]() Might not be a bad idea to get a Factory Service Manual for your year Geo. E-Bay is a good place to look. For general knowledge, a Haynes manual is nice. But be warned, Haynes covers a wide range of model years. By no means as accurate and precise as an FSM. Haynes will give you the general idea as to what you're up against. A True Factory Service Manual is needed when you're ready to dig in. |
