Hows it going. I own a 01 vr6 12 valve I noticed somethings going on lately. At higher rpms when I really get on it I noticed a burning smell kinda. It kinda smells like exhaust kinda a hot smell I guess you could say. Another thing I noticed is that my oil smells like exhaust is this normal? Not sure if it’s just me but I feel like there is some power loss and I noticed when I’m at idle with my hood open and I give it a little rev to about to grand I noticed a ticking/knocking/binding noise could this be my intake shiftrod I know some people have problems with that. Motor has 113,xxx miles on
