[ThatShoGuy]

well i think my NOS short block has come upon a rod knock 5k miles and there is some kind of knockin i have had 2 other sho motors knock this knock isnt that kind at least yet....

im hopin its a loose cat i hit the cat a few times with my plam and it sounds loose but idk if thats what it is.. the car its self has about 106k

any input thanks guys...........
:violin::violin:
im ready to shoot my self...

sh** the oil in it still looks new i have changed it 3 times already since the 5k i put on it i use mobile 5000clean and use a motorcraft filter, changed it under 3k so far.. first one was at 500 miles 2nd was at 2500 miles and now this one... every time oil looked as if it was just poured out the bottle.. as you can see im tryin my best to keep this think running for a bit of time and it seems no matter how hard i try somthing just wont work..

I think with enough time you'll have this engine figured out.

I thought I had a rod knock. Turned out to be the alternator bearing. Hard to tell with the aluminum block I guess.

thanks for tellin me that i did change that alt out not to long ago and it does seem low on power.. the light has even flash a few times.... hmm.. only reason i changed it b4 is because the casing was cracked...

pulled the Y pipe earlier didn't find anything didn't seem loose nothing...


all i got to say is if this motor craps out parts are bout to be up for sale lol... im not installing a 4th motor in this car... s*** im on use head gaskets and bolts as it is..(btw no coolant in oil or anything like that)

alternator is next to check but im gonna drive it till i find it i guess cuz there aint no saving it once it starts well at least theirs no point..

What would make a new block break?

What would make a new block break?

thats what i dont understand.... im hopin it aint.. the weird thing is no matter what temp the car is at.. when you first start it up the noise aint there drive it for a bout 5 min and then it appears drive it to were ever, shut it off let it sit for good 10-15min start it up knockin is gone drive it for a few again and it comes back....


and after 2500rpm or so the knockin is gone and normally a rod knock is there on start up and is more louder and fast the faster the the motor go's so idk..

thanks for any help givin any other ideas bring them to me..

haha just noticed the abs light on broke the drivers side front sensor doin the balljoint 3 days ago the day the knock started was debating on just returning the ball joint just cuz if the motor went why install.. ether way still installed what a pain...

That doesn't sound like rod or main bearings. Pull the belt off already.

Hard to tell but it sounds like an exhaust leak. Check the egr tube and the dpfe hoses.

 

[bacernate]

Maybe loose torque converter bolts. Definately sounds rythmic.

:thankyou::thankyou::thankyou::thankyou::thankyou::thankyou::thankyou:

 

[ThatShoGuy]

well i pulled the belt...... and i dont remember it being so hard

and guess what still has a knocking sound same way i said be four 2-5min ride then it starts..

guess its done for.. unless it don't blow and it turns to something else

only thing i haven't checked is the tq converter nuts but whats my chances..

anyone think i could buy a bearing and throw it in and it would work out and last? i know i haven't seen what it looks like but say its just loosened up and rattly

 

[SHOZ123]

What bearing are you talking about?
