exhaust leak. Need manifold gaskets probably. You may break bolts trying to remove the manifods. Be careful

ok, is there a way to check? dont hear anything different
Really, best way to know is to have someone experienced listen to the noise. Until you have someone tell you thats what it sounds like, how would you describe it?

My 93 pickup does it . Start up is noisiest , then it quiets as oil pressure comes up , then its just a little noisy as I drive , and most quiet after warmup .
This is my first owning of a roller cam motor , so I don't know whats what as far as noise goes . I do know the damn thing pulls strong , and it has since I bought 14,000 miles ago at 188,000 miles .
