Hello all. I have the opportunity to pick up a 1998 Nassau Blue Convertible and have a question regarding possible engine noise.
I am familiar with the piston slap issue on LS1's so I'm pretty sure that's what the tapping noise is in the video but what is the whirling type noise? I appreciate all advice.

From what I can hear I don't like either sound coming from that car..............there are so many out there I'd keep looking man. Also with Summer winding down prices will be going down.
Difficult to tell from the short audio clip but if it were me I would MOVE ON. As stated there are plenty of good used C5's out the whirrrring noise. If the other noise is piston slap it will go away once the engine is at operating temp.
Thanks. I am only looking for the Nassau Blue convertible. From what I can tell, they are pretty hard to find.
