That crossed my mind as well. I just hated to jump to that since I couldn't tell much from the noise.

I believe the pilot still engages the crank somewhat when bottomed out in the trans, so that may not be a safe idea. But the noise sounds no bueno, man

It could be that procharger...those things always sound like they are on the verge of exploding anyway

If it engages, I wouldn't risk it then.

All I can hear is procharger.

Try a compression check if it is a piston. Usually they break where the rings butt, and could lower the reading.

My thought was that maybe something inside is diverting the air in away that could cause the air to have a "whistle" like effect esspecialy since you mentioned water or condensation in there.

when I thought it might have been a exhaust manifold gasket and changed them I also changed the plugs and they didnt look fouled or coated with oil. Porcelain was also white I was looking for any abnormalities.

Yeah, I heard the noise right away. Piston speed, and sounds exactly like 2 others that I had in my shop, with broken pistons.

Finally pull the heads pistons look good. Will take a better look tomorrow and clean the carbon crap so I can rotate engine and check cylinder walls for damage.

Check/Clean your throttle body. Carbon build-up can make them whistle.
