Rod Knock

quote from tony...
If you remove the spark plug wire to the cylinder that has the knock, it would quiet the knock down. So if you go through the wires and can find that removing one of them quiets things, you have a major operation on your hands.

True....I look for rod knock by letting it idle, then raise the R's up to about 1500 and back and forth it to 1000 to 1500 to 1000 to 1500. You'll hear it if it is a rod.

Poor 18 year old girl let her oil get all gone last month. Car died in intersection, was towed in. 5 qts added. TOO LATE !!!
