    Hello,
    Since I own my 3.2 1988 Mondial, it makes a rubbing noise when cold, at the timing belt notched wheel level.
    I eventualy put appropriate grease in this area (upper engine only) which has improved significantly the thing.
    Is such rubbing noise "normal" when those 3.2 V8 are running ? (I am used to the V12 carb with 6 webers). The fact is that the more I listen to it the more I thing this rattle noise is present all the time. I've been driving 1000 miles since I own it, and the timing belt was changed one year ago.
    Is the stainless steel exhaust is amplifying it ?
    Thanks for your comments.
