FlamingGoatBalls Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Drop the belt and see if the sound goes away. Its a long shot but maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedyman_2 Posted June 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Drop the belt and see if the sound goes away. Its a long shot but maybe. I haven't tried that yet. But, I think I'll get the guys to do it. I really doubt it. It's so loud and sounds internal. no Doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acklac7 Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Out of curiosity how many miles are on it? When did it first start having problems? A.J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Its hard to tell, but take the accessory belt off and see if the noise goes away. It sounds exterior to the engine to me. Its also indicative that you focused on the accessory area.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danbuc Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Does the knock change in pitch, tone , or speed depending on RPM? I have a slight knocking sound, but it not very loud, and does not change with RPm, which I've diagnosed as a failing timing component, probably something like a bad chain tensioner, or a chip tooth on a sprocket. If the knock increases with speed and intensity depending on RPM, than it is probably soemthing directly related to the rotatin assembly (i.e. crank, rods,..ect). I'm including an page from my service manual abotu diagnosing engine noises, and there possible causes. Hope this helps you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldgamer Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 I'm completely dumb in noises, but it seems to me that frequency of knocking is 5-6 times per one belt loop and around 10-12HZ, which is looks like crank shaft idle frequency, isn't it?

JohnnyG Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Your link wouldn't let me in, something about "Angelfire does not allow direct linking from offsite, non-Angelfire pages, to files hosted on Angelfire" And it goes on to say something about how doing so would prevent them from hosting web pages.....DUH! Anyway, any tricks to make the link work? Never underestimate the amount of a persons greed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedyman_2 Posted June 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Well, I took it to the shop. I decided to drive the car to the shop even with the knock. Definately a rod. It died on my about halfway there. Started to knock like crazy. Then it just died. She's done. No more life in her. But that's ok. The replacement engine will be transplanted by friday. I got 4.4 miles down the road before she died if you're wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Sorry to hear that, but it doesn't sound like you are too upset so that is good. Tell us about your old engine, how many miles, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyG Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 So THAT'S what a busted rod sounds like! Thanks Scotty. So how did you bust it? Never underestimate the amount of a persons greed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlamingGoatBalls Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 I assume he isnt paying for it. Also I would assume that the engine had somewhere in the neighborhood of 80k on it. Am I right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
