I get a loud bing/ding in the engine while trying to start the engine, not sure if anyone knows what it is. The engine does start however it just don't sound right

Re: 3.0 GS "ding" sound in engine while starting

Can you be more descriptive?

A Valve that is stock closed will make a very loud snap sound

A starter can make a sort of whine sound

a broke Motor mount can cause a noise

Loose belts can could really strange

I once saw a bad carb gasket sound like an alarm going off

sounds like it coming from the top of the engine. Kind of a bell like sound
