^^^hmm my 2.5 never clacked.

Yeah could be anything from a lifter, to piston slap, to a thrown rod, or a loose timing belt. Who knows.

Most all 2.5Ls are considered "noisy"; if it's a V6, the only thing really noisy are the lifters, which tend to tap a bit with age. If it's a 6 and the noise is very, very noticible at times other than startup, you may have problems.

It is a v6 and has 105,000 miles. he said it started around 8 months ago. I think its just showing age thats all.

Hey, as thankful as I am to my beloved beatAr for getting me through school cheaply, I'm looking forward to August and replacing it.

that old awd 6000 could be a good donor car for someone who wants to built a FWD Gm performance vehicle

I loved my old 88 6000 LE. Had the 2.8 V6. That thing was a tank. It had 209,000 miles on it when I traded it in. It never had any major engine or tranny work done. Just replaced a bunch of starters and altenators. Other then that, the car was golden. If I ever see it again I will buy it back.

Hell, my brother used to pull tractors out of mud with that thing. I beat the hell out of it. It taught me how to work on cars. My friends named it the 'Gunship' because it looked like it had been in a lot of battles. No rust but the paint was peeling and the driver door had dents in it.

Man that brings back some memories.
