Thread: Let me know if you think I have rod knock.

Let me know. This shop is empty and nothing else is running. Just my car. I think I do have rod knock. Please feed me some input.

New videos. (They make take some time to upload, busy Sunday I guess for YouTube)

I can hear something a little bit at the end. Could just be injectors. Injectors are kinda loud and ticky in our cars. Does it sound like it's coming from the injectors?

It kinda sounds like rod knock to me, but it's hard to tell for sure with that clip.

New clips tomorrow guys. I think it sounds like rod knock. I hear this mechanical noise when I sit at intersections with windows down and other cars or objects around me.

I think this engine is about to die....and that saddens me because I probably caused it.

Try ignoring my stupid voice, sorry for that.

I dunno, I can check that tomorrow also when I take new videos. Luckily I get nice audio on my digital camera. I would rather have better audio than video to be honest.

Can't tell. Rod knock is usually prounounced at a certain RPM and from listening to the clip it's hard to find.

I hear a constant clattering, ticking at lower rpms. Eventually the exhaust drowns it out at higher RPMs.

Maybe it is just loud injectors? I hear it when I sit in traffic and the reverbs off of the objects around me.

I dunno, I am getting paranoid lately...

I just saw about 5 or 6 videos of others on here with rod knock and all were way louder than what I am hearing.

Videos coming tomorrow...

I don't think that's rod knock, it sounds more like some rocker arms and lifter mechanism and considering you're runing aftermarket cams the idle sounds different

Rod knock, you will know when you have it...

Yea that doesn't sound loud enough or clunky enough to be rod knock. have you tried the whole pulling one spark plug lead off at a time to see if the ticking goes away? to see if it's just one cylinder.
