90KUTTY Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 OK here is the the prob, ive had this knocking coming from somewhere under the engine and the weird thing is it starts knocking when the engine gets hot, so i jack up the car get under there and its coming from some where above where you drain the oil, i get a flashlight but there's nothing moving up there, im good with the top of the engine but not underneath, except to change the oil, what could be the cause? ill go buy some stop knocking doubt it will work though. anyway if anyone gots any ideas HELP!!! thanx, Jared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TurboSedan Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 sounds like a rod knock to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan94Z34 Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 with a rod knock, your talking either a rebuild, a used engine, or a brand new engine from GM. Drive it till it blows, then find an engine in a yard with relativly low miles and dump it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan94Z34 Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 oh yeah, I forgot one. Put in some really heavy oil to quiet it down and trade it off or sell it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slade901 Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 Do you have an oil pressure gauge on your dash? If so, does the pressure drop to 0 when you hear that knocking noise? I would just think positive it's your oil pump or oil pump pickup tube (screen) which is probably partially clogged-up which either needs cleaning or replacing both oil pump and oil pump pick up tube (screen).
