Re: Need help! I have a knocking sound!!!!!!!
 

Sounds just like mine that had a spun rod bearing right before it blew up.:(

Sorry, don't mean to scare you.

Re: Need help! I have a knocking sound!!!!!!!
 

Sounds like mine like almost all the time. Normally I just add oil and it stops.

Re: Need help! I have a knocking sound!!!!!!!
 

Make sure your power steering pump is full of fluid. If you have a leak and it is dry it can make an extremely similar noise.

Hopefully it is not a bearing... good luck.

Re: Need help! I have a knocking sound!!!!!!!
 

You think its the PS pump?! I figured it would be a heat shield or perhaps and bent rod....

Re: Need help! I have a knocking sound!!!!!!!
 

Oh and the PS res is full. Im no fool. I keep all fluids at peak and check them regularly. :D

Re: Need help! I have a knocking sound!!!!!!!
 

What octane fuel are you running and when was your last oil change? What weight/brand oil. As of now I see Seafoam in your future :cool:

Re: Need help! I have a knocking sound!!!!!!!
 

Kinda scaring me a bit lol!
My last oil change was <1500 miles ago with a 5w30... quaker state? ...high milage half synth (to see if it smoked at start up still, otherwise its full synth) and I uses 91 premuim at QuickTrip only! What is Seafoam? Is it expensive? (edit: looked up seafoam video http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...0865726229173# and I gotta say aside from the smoking it looks pretty solid)

Re: Need help! I have a knocking sound!!!!!!!
 

5w30 is probably your problem. Should look in a recent oil weight thread wherethe best suggestions for oil in our car were made.

Also, I used seafoam in my car and nevr listened for the knocking or if it went away after that. It may have.

Re: Need help! I have a knocking sound!!!!!!!
 

Hey I know the weight differences and what they are good for, but i changed the oil twice in less than a month because i did the first one and then had to replace the valve cover seals along with oil again. It was still cold cold when I put the oil in, and it got to -11 in MO this winter. with a **** ton of snow too lol. pic as proof:

Hmm, this is a slow weekend on the forums! Everyone must be out driving, too busy to answer a poor man's troubles. :ninja:

Re: Need help! I have a knocking sound!!!!!!!
 

BUMP!!!!
I still needs helpsss!!!!!!! PLZ!! Need expert opinion!!!!! TYTYTYTYTY!

Re: Need help! I have a knocking sound!!!!!!!
 

Does the sound change if it is in park/neutral, or in drive?

Re: Need help! I have a knocking sound!!!!!!!
 

Sounds just like the engine I pulled out of the Pearly. 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, 19mm. Remember: There are no big jobs, just bunches of small ones.

Re: Need help! I have a knocking sound!!!!!!!
 

No change between gears or directions. Only when warmed up does it stop.
LetitSnow - What was wrong with the engine you recently pulled? Im looking for that sort of speculation here.
