- 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

- 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>

- 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
