Knockin Noise

[Cb7_Hulk]

I was driving down the freeway sunday then all the sudden my engine starting loosins power.....pull up in a macdonalds and the engine started knocking real bad and like squeeling.... i thinkg the oil pump went out...... what you all think?... get a new motor?.... change the oil pump???

[91lxaccordkidd]

sounds like your have a bearing about to go out completly, i would change the oil pump and check the bearings before it gets worse.

[Cb7_Hulk]

sorry but im not that good with internals.... whats a bearing? where is it at?

[91lxaccordkidd]

your rod bearings, are located in your oil pan, jack the car up , drain oil, remove pan, take each rod cap off and check the bearings one by one, do not mix them up.

ooo the things that hold the rod and the piston in the crankshaft?.... what should i look for?

yea, look at the wear pattern and see what color they are, if they are copper color then they are going bad, of if both bearings are melted together then its deff bad and if that happens you need to polish the crank or get another.

how much would all that parts run? sorry i know i ask to many questions but i suck at internals.... i can get an used engine for 300 dollars. i really want a h22 but i dont know how much i can get it for

rod bearings are $35.99, and oil pump is $168.99, ( at autozone), plus labor unless your going to do it, but if you know the condition of the other motor, and its good, then i would just buy that, cuz you may need to get the crank polished but you never know till tear down.

if he is knocking then he is going to need a rebuild, the other motor is the cost effective way to go

[Cb7_Hulk]

thank you dude ... ima go check out the motor... its almost the same thing.... maybe i just buy that motor and keep the old one and just build it u know

If the knock is loud like you say, then you wont have to dissasemble the rod caps to check for wear, you will for sure be able to just jiggle the whole rod back and forth on the crank. I say just go with a whole engine then save and build the h22.
