The motor started to tick very faintly then increased to a loud knock that comes and goes it is not constant. I am not losing oil pressure or using any oil, the motor is not smoking and does not seem to have lost any power. I removed all lifters and inspected them re-installed changed oil added rislone.Motor still does same thing. I also noticed when engine is running that the rockers on the passenger side move up and down independantly where as the rockers on the drivers side don"t. Two rockers that are side by side but on different cylinders go up and down exactly together. Can someone help? thanks carjunky Enthusiast Dec 17, 2005, 12:42 PM Post #2 of 3 (2584 views) Re: engine knock Sign In What type of oil are you running? Also do you race the car at all. Normally a tick starts when you let the oil go to long and ithe oil starts to break down. Also what oil weight are you using. I am running amsoils Extended Life 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil (XLF) in my car that has 205k miles, use to tick a lot but has quieted down.

Camshafts can break or wear but you would have a real lousy running engine or not at all. Sometimes a serpine belt can make wild noises and if you spray it with a little WD-40 and problem goes away that might be it. New belt is in order if the case. I wouldn't wait too long with this as it's hard to figure out or explain noises by keyboard/computer where the right tech may know the sound if they hear it for themselves. Good luck, Hope it's something minor, - T   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
