Okay,sorry. I should have given more information. Its a loud metal scraping noise. In the video its hard to distinguish but it starts near the beginning and a couple of seconds before it ends you can hear it stop. Its a constant sound like metal is being dragged across metal. It used to do it intermittently but now it is doing it right after I start the car and at different times while I’m driving.

It was a day job and I needed to drive the car again that night, so we just lined up the TDC mark on the crank shaft pulley and then put the cam at TDC. I was just wondering if that was an accurate way of doing it or if I need to pull everything off again this weekend.

Alright, sorry I am getting back to you so late. I went ahead and did a leak down test in all of the cylinders. I found that all seemed to be letting air in to past the piston rings but i don’t know how much is normal. I also found that cylinder 1 gave me bubbles at the top of the radiator. To verify my results I hooked up a cooling system pressure tester. I got green coolant leaking into cylinder 1.

If I do find coolant in the cylinders, could it be coming from anywhere else besides a head gasket leak?

I went out there today and did the water bottle test. I sprayed all the vacuum hoses and al over the intake manifold gasket. I never heard any water being sucked in and the rpms didn’t change any. It seems to have the hardest time starting after I’ve been driving it. It usually starts good the first time I start it up in the morning. I was hoping it would be a vacuum leak but if it was, i still wouldn’t know where all my coolant keeps going. It seems to empty the overflow reservoir once a week.
