Knocking!!! Ahhhhhhh!!

Ok knocking just showed up one day. its a 96 gs. it seems to be getting worst. louder, and so very annoying. what can it be. it seems to be coming form the right hand side of the engine near the tranny.

Describe it more. When does it do it? When accerlating? braking?

it does it apoun start up and accelerating, at first i thought it was lifter tick becuase it was not as loud. now its alot louder especially during acceleration.

So its constant? Did u post 2 threads about the same deal?

don't run it at all until you get it figured out what it is. pull off the oil pan and check ALL the rod bearings. chances are you have a rod bearing or 2 out.

How hard would it be to repair rod bearings? Would it consist of tearing into the block or what? Im considering selling if thats the case and get a beter base model. If I do sell would I get more for the car the way its running or parting it out?

is the car stock?? cuz if so, you wont get much for it by parting it out, cuz OEM parts go for cheap all over the net!

Not really, there are always people willing to pay a little more for good OEM parts, than aftermarket knockoffs. Depending on the condition of the car and the parts, I would say unless it has a major problem, just save the time and sell it. You might get a little more by parting it out, but you have to look at the miles, condition, etc. and then look at what you think you can get parting it out. If you can part it out on ebay, you will be a lot more successful.

where are you looking....stock car parts(used) are cheap! you can get them for practically nothing, and if you do want to pay more to get that item, then you are losing money, cuz if you look around long enough, you will find the same item for cheaper!

Now he is an economics major. Awesome.

Shut up, kid.

u name it, i know it!

ask your girl whose the kid! after she had me, she wishes she was a chick with a 2 foot dick! bitches

thats obviously not possible!

Back to the original post, I think it might be your motor mount, as the engine vibrates most upon start-up and acceleration. Take a look around, have someone rev it up and see if it's knockin around a bit.

tighten the bolts on your wheels, i had mine come loose before and its sounded like a pistion smashin things up but it was just the wheels;)

No No No... Everybody off the real tread thanks to the prick who thought he was a genius. Anyways back to recap, I pretty sure now its a rod bearing or two. Its not shaking, its giveing a tremendous knocking noise from the engine it self. My question was is it worth fixing or is it better to sell. How hard is it to repair rod bearings. I can probably get a used motor for around 800 to 900$. Im leaning toward sellling to get a better base model, has any one went this route and been successful?

if you haven't fucked up the crank surface or rod surface where the bearing sits, then you'll just have to replace the rod bearings but if you've been running it and it's smashing the shit out of the crank/rod surfaces, then you're fucked.

pull the pan and then the rod caps (keep them in order and on the exact way) see if the crankshaft surface where the rod bearing rides is all scored and scratched to shit. if not and it's still all shiny, just get new rod bearings. otherwise, you'll have to pull the motor and replace it with a different one or do some major engine work.

just don't drive it or even start it up and run it for a second until you figure out what you want to do.
