Maybe. there are 6 holes in it. And the holes, circular, become eliptical and that is what causes the rattling. Some go 1,000s of miles while it rattles.

It'll take quite a bit before it will fail. The annoyance factor will become pretty large as it wears out though. If you're worried about it, then you can pull the S/C belt and run around in a slower than GT GTP.

It's more of an annoyance then anything. If it does fail the only thing that will happen is the rotors won't spin and you'll be as slow as a 3.1 SE :rolleyes: hey now be nice

Oops! I forgot the sleepiest GP SE on the site! My bad.
What do you mean what SE? drummer has a '97 SE and mine's a 98.
I was referencing Herc's comment on a GTP w/o the s/c belt being as slow as a 3.1 SE.

oh lol! sorry.
I'm kinda tired right now. Y'know, the kind of tired where you can't really think straight and when 2 things are happening at once, you can't pay attention to either of them...

a easy way to get the s/c oil out is to use the top off a spray bottle. Just stick the tube in the s/c and spray away. works much better than any syringe
