    Engine Knock, Opinions Before I Go In

    Got an email from someone looking to come see the car and I couldn't do it, I can't sell it, took the ad down. I'm going to keep it and fix it up, may take a bit of time but it will be on the road at some point.

    Engine Knock, Opinions Before I Go In

    Hey guys, quick update. Before my buddy came over on Tuesday I wanted to find the cylinder making the noise so I decided to pull each wire while its running to see if the noise stopped. Noise was coming from the passenger side so I started with #2 that had the low compression and when I pulled...

    Engine Knock, Opinions Before I Go In

    I don't actually think its missing, its not shaking, I didn't clearly hear a miss when it was running but I was more focused on the knock. I have a buddy coming over on Tuesday and he is gonna crank it for me while I look at it, should be able to locate it then. In the meantime while I was by...

    Engine Knock, Opinions Before I Go In

    Valve springs looked good visually and seemed ok when turning the engine by hand but I won't be able to rule it out completely until I look at them while its running. I was also thinking about the possibility of a warn lobe on the cam, I know it can cause some of the symptoms I am having...

    Oh and yes 69L48Z27 the noise follows the speed of the RPM's, it stays close to the same in terms of how loud but it gets faster as the RPM's climb

    Engine Knock, Opinions Before I Go In

    Listened to my first video again and noticed the sound cut out and wasn't very clear, I have had exhaust leaks on other cars before and it doesn't sound like that to me, could be wrong but most exhaust leaks I have dealt with sound more like a tick then this. I think I am going to take...

    Engine Knock, Opinions Before I Go In

    I rotated the engine by hand and checked every rocker and push rod by hand when the valves were closed and there was no up and down play in any of them. I am just a backyard mechanic and not an expert by an means, that's why I am here getting opinions, shouldn't I get some play in a rocker and...

    Engine Knock, Opinions Before I Go In

    Hey guys so I pulled the spark plugs and valve covers and took a look, I attached some pictures, they aren't great but gives a little bit to look at. As you can see spark plugs are black, I have new ones ready to go when it goes back together, don't think they are bad enough to cause a problem...

    Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. A couple people mentioned to change the oil and report back and it was the first thing I did before I even came to the forum. I had the oil and filter ready to go because I was going to do it anyway so when I started it up and heard the knock I shut it...

    Engine Knock, Opinions Before I Go In

    Oil pressure looked good but I didn't run it long once I heard the knock, I checked a couple things quickly and shut it down. I won't have a lot of time until next week but hopefully tonight I can at least pull the valve cover and check the rocker arms and for a collapsed valve. I will report...

    Engine Knock, Opinions Before I Go In

    Hello Everyone, new to the forum so hopefully I follow the rules, if not please let me know. I have a 1972 Dodge Charger with a 1973 360 in it. It had been sitting a little while and when I started it up I have a noticeable knock. Sounds like it is coming from the top end on the passenger...
