    Whistle while driving

    Whistle while driving

    Yep. Drive or reverse 1800-2500 when throttle is pushed in about 1/3. And more and the noise goes away

    Whistle while driving

    Smooth idle. I did replace the gasket. I put some air tight sealant. Then the gasket. Then sealant. Then my air intake. Engine speed seems to be what is causing the issue. However it only whistles in drive.
