Go all motor first, because you can always go turbo!

Thanks, I didn't want to go posting a thread without getting opinions of people who have had or have seen a similar problem, I wanted to make sure it was, what it was. I didnt think to check youtube for other videos on rodknock because I wasnt aware there was any, but I will sure use it in the...

Yes I know the title, what I didn't know is that the knocking sound that I heard at idle was the same sound I heard a 2000 to 3000 rpms, Thank you for your idea though. Its a manual transmission.

That does kinda sound like it, but the knock is not occasional, it is always there, I can't say for sure it's not that though. Thanks.

Yea, thats what I was afraid of, the engine had a metal head gasket installed when they swapped the engine into it, should I still have a machine shop re plane the block and head? Also how much are we talking about for a decent rebuild, and what parts should I put higher on the priority list...

Thats what my friend said a few weeks ago, I didn't want to jump to conclusions without justifying them, when I read the page on rod knock from, supracentral, I think thats the name, it pretty much matched the description he gave. It's had this sound since before I bought it, I always...

I see, thanks for all your ideas, as for the crank pulley bolt, I'm pretty sure it's not that, but ill check it out. Valve lash, I can really see that being one of the two sounds. I have a video up that had the other sound I'm talking about, you can hear it at idol but the camera didn't...

Yea? How would you build a engine for thicker oil, its not a concept I have considered. Also what do you mean by buckets? Thanks.

I think at that time it was valve train noise, but It has never had done that before and as I said I didn't hear it tonight, sorry that it wasn't clear.

I had AMSOIL 20-50W in it for summer, and switched to AMSOIL 10-40W, previous owner had straight 40W in it. That was the first time I heard a clear ticking sound from the valve train, I'm very use to it, so I know it when I hear it, my 84 Ranger has a ticking rocker/spring.

Hi all, occasionally my car has a noticeable ticking/knocking sound at idol after the car has warmed up. I originally thought it to be the AC compressor or the PWR steering pump. I removed the AC comp belt and found the bearing was bad in it so it was making a sound but the ticking/knocking...

Looks good man, real good!!

Thanks for the advice, I kinda knew there would be some intense testing, I was'nt looking for a quick fix, I want to do it right, the first time!

Hi all, on occasion my car either hesitates to start or does'nt start at all. The previous owner said it did this to him, and he found what it was so he kept a bunch of ECU Mains' in the car. The issue is i've gone thru all 7 of them, but sometimes I can use the "blown" Mains and the car...
