engine knock-kinda loud
Hi,
I am a poor college student and am in need to help desperately! Yesterday my engine started a knock from the top of the engine. (98 Eagle Talon/ Eclipse Esi, GS) Immediately i turned the engine off to save a potentially hazardous situation. I went ahead and changed the oil and put in higher octane, but neither worked. I had a friend listen to the car and he said that it was probably a rocker arm. The sound is not coming from the timing belt side, but it looks like it is piston #4(far right piston). I pulled off the spark plug and freaked because there was oil in there! However, it could be a seal, but im not sure. I pulled the cover off and lifted the cams. I checked out each rocker arm, but they all checked out ok. Looked pretty good. The engine does have 99K on it, but ive treated it very well since having. Does anyone have any ideas on what it could be?
THank you
Aaron Henry
