We got a knock...

[BlackBee]

So I was driving today and coming home we heard a little tisk tisk tisk and we thought it was jut a exhaust leak and then it went off and when we turned into my driveway and it sounded like a I ha a damn cam in my truck and it was knocking really bad...my dad thinks its a bearing in the bottom end. Any ideas or experiences?

It could be on the crank hard to say. What kind of miles you have on that motor?

 

[BlackBee]

about 73k, I got it with 70k on it

Could have popped a ring land also. Is it tossing a cylinder misfire code yet?

 

[BlackBee]

No check engine light yet. It seems to be in the bottom end

Man thats not good, mine did the same thing and tossed two rods racing. That being said if you want to save your block go ahead and pull it out and do a freshen up.

What is you oil presser sitting at? My wife's truck just take a ****. The oil presser drop, she kept on going and I got a knock in cylinder 1. Im replacing the motor.

Oil pressure is good. Looks like I spun a bearing what should I do? Try to have it rebuilt or buy a new motor?

Sometimes if the crank and rod aren't to scored up you can put in a oversize bearing and run it.

I have a funny feeling this guy before me has already done this because nobody gets keyed every panel like that..or cuts off the front bumper or cuts the hood scoop insert out and the actual hood thinking it'll function as a direct air flow. This guy obviously new and abused this truck to have it blow up on me in 3k miles only from February.

Rebuild it. Get a good machine shop to prep your block. Get some go fast goodies. And be proud of what you have done. New motors cost a lot.
