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.
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...

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...
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.
