Rod Knock? (video)

[eman2289]

Can anyone tell me what the tapping sound in the video could be? I have done searches and it does not seem to be rod knock to me, but some people (my uncle that works at toyota) say that it is rod knock. I would like to get more opinions before i either get another engine or rip this one apart.

its the knock because it cuts out.

Time for a rebuild

Sounds like a Cummins.

Honestly, it sounds like rodknock. I wouldn't "shortblock it", rather pull it and inspect the damage myself... you know, like, with tools and plastigauge.
Diagnosing over the internet is quite difficult. We lose a lot of sound quality. Bad sounds are often worse or even better depending on the recording equipment.

Best way is to figure out if it's really rodknock or not yourself.
