knock noise

[blackcb7]

alright last night my car started with a knocking noise coming from the engine
i am leaning heavyly on the main bearings or the rod bearins

when i started the car this morning i heard a couple of knocks then it went away, i drove it a little and the noise comes back at bout 3500 rpm and up. but not a idle,


are my bearings shot? thnks

gets some oil. if that doesnt help, get ready to call a tow truck

[blackcb7]

thanks for the quick reply

yeah i added oil and it does what i described, before it was a constant knocking, now after oil it does above 3500 rpm, i'm thinking of just replacing them.

[pretty_ricky302]

when u speed up u hear it get louder and faster?

[blackcb7]

yes, i am about to check the valvetrain just in case

[pretty_ricky302]

mine did that they it wouldnt go ova 50 mph, then next next i lost 2q's oil on the ground. just prepare for the worst

[blackcb7]

valve train checked out good, valve lash, and every thing is right, so the worst has come stupid my for not checking oil, damn it, about to go start on it right now

thanks for your help

damn that sucks...gotta keep the eye on the fluids so important..well good luck and hopefully you caught it in time! If it seizes up Acclude91 just did a write up on how to un-sieze it...check that!

[blackcb7]

my rod bearings are so messed up, i'm on my way to honda to pick up new ones

not siezed, i just cranked it, but thanks for the help

i just finished replacing my rod bearings, man they were severly damaged, good thing nothing happened to the crank,

finished crank a few time so the oil can get around, then started right up, and went very smooth,

i suggest you check your oil more often, i didn't but now i learned my lesson
