Well... After work i start my car and its gone. I rev for a bit and still nothing. So I didnt take it to GM but as soon as I get home.. the damn thing is rattling again! I guess I will take the car in when she feels shes ready...
I like to see organized ppl cuz it bothers me seeing a mess, and my mechanic knows what he is doing.. just that he takes shortcuts toocuz he doesn't charge by the hours.... When he installed the trans mounts I maded him torque them properly, and he looked annoyed but f it we are some good thread jackers haha

Update!:
Finally got my lazy ass to bring my car in to the shop. The "ball bearing noise" happened to be a broken bolt in my timing chain housing. Apparently since this bolt was broken my timing chain was loose and rattling because it was not fully secured. Luckily I held onto my warranty and only had to pay a $200 deductible rather than the full $1000. I also had my Emergency Brake fixed, one of the cables had popped out which made my brake very undependable.

I had that happen to me once, and the cable popping out, was because one of the parking brakes was not fully releaseing. I had to replace my right rear caliper.
