Help Me Find the Knock...
I need help determining if my engines knocking is the bottom end or the head.
Is there anyway to be sure if you have rod knock? Or something in the head? It's a ticking/knock noise, only heard above 2500RPM. It's not very consistent either, I can be steady throttle and hear it, then get on it and nothing, it varies.
It has been doing it since September, maybe even longer, but has not gotten any worse. The car is a bone stock 91 SE-R.
I'll get a video tomorrow. It SEEMS to be coming from the passenger side of the engine, if that helps, but does not seem to be timing chain related.
Thanks!
