A quiet knocking sound when the engine is cool that turns into a loud knocking sound when the engine is hot (thinner oil) is probably a rod, or otherwise not cheap, right? J. Adrian Barnes, MCSD, MCT

who's there? The problem is when this sound suddenly stops.. its not easy to repair holes in engine blocks. best advised you check this out immediatly. because the cost of repair may exponentially fo

The problem actually first happened several months ago...driving on the interstate a loud horrible knocking sound and loss of power. People on the street were staring as I pulled off. Towed it home a

You should hope so. Otherwise it's likely piston slap (a piston loose in it's bore or a bad wrist pin) or something else expensive. As I recall you've got a 1500, which, if it >is< a rod bearing, is

Loss of power along with a knocking sound changes the diagnosis. I'm thinking: Head gasket, perhaps? Chris K. <snip>

Wouldn't that also lead to great belching of sump contents through the PCV system? Chris K.

hey! hey! You guys are starting to make me worry! heh heh... A stomach full of Waffle House food isn't good to worry with. ;-) Other than chunks of metal laying in the sump, when I take it off, is th

Possibly, depends on where it broke and how. If chunks flew off and hammered up the spark plug, and or bend a valves, there would be no firing of the fuel charge, hence no "great belching of sump con

Adrian: Probably not cheap but don't jump to conclusions till you have pinpointed the knocking with a stethoscope or broom handle. Knocking is usually worse than pecking, but it may not be the engine

It seems my car has developed a fairly strong knock as well - I knew I shouldn't have asked about how to ID a spun bearing a few weeks ago! Anyway, I have some vague idea of the broom handle trick, b

You just take a length of broomstick, put one end to your ear and the other pressed on the engine in various spots. The area of the knocking will come through loud and clear by listening to the broom

Automotive "stethoscopes" are available thru many sources. Check Snap-On or or your local speed shop (hey, Sears probably has 'em). They work great for pin-pointing noise. WFO

Put one end of the broom handle (or dowel) on the engine in the vicinity of the noise, and hold the other against (not in, please) your ear. Makes a great stethoscope. Try different spots until you f
