1991 Toyota Tercel 4 cyl Wheel Drive Type unknown Automatic 156880 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
I have had a couple of problems with the car, which is to be expected since the car is 16 years old. I had the head gaskets fixed about two and a half months ago. It was fine for a while, but about two weeks ago it started making a noise from the manifold. I took my car in three days ago. My mechanic found half a gasket and the problem was solved. It was fine until I drove it yesterday. I was driving my car about 75 mph on the freeway. I noticed no real change. Five hours later, I noticed that my car was making a loud noise. As I speed up, it makes a loud noise. Once it gets to 35 mph, it lowers down to the point where I don't notice it. Once I come to a stop I don't hear it again. Then when I speed up again, it comes back. It's really loud. The best way I can describe it is like an old VW Beattle speeding up. I'm afraid I messed up my engine. Help please!
