    What's it doing?

    What's it doing?

    Year, Engine, trans, what has been done to the car, how long this has been going on and is it getting worse and anything you can add?

      i started hearing a knocking noise around 2k rpm then went away after 3500rpm. it started out as a light noise now its getting louder. ive tried seafoam in the crank case let it run for about 30 min, then changed the oil to 10-40. i put the remaining 8 oz of seafoam in the pcv valve. I noticed a big difference in the way the car performed but the knocking is still there. some have said it could be a lifter and others say it could be an exhaust leak. dont know what to do. its been doing this for about 2 weeks. any help will be greatly appreciated.

        Really hard to diagnose a noise on a forum. Try taking it in to a local shop. Good luck

          Can you post an audio file of the noises? This should be funny, lol. Please include the look on your face!

            If it goes:
            Knock
            Knock
            Knock
            Knock
            It is probably a bad bearing and the bottom of the engine needs to come apart for diagnosis.
            If it goes:
            Tap
            Tap
            Tap
            Tap
            It is probably a valve lister or follower and the top of the engine needs to come apart.
            If it goes:
            Boom Chucka-chucka
            Boom Chucka-chucka
            Boom Chucka-chucka
            Then it just needs a new interpolation filter.

            Sorry JF. I just couldn't resist.
            Take the advice of DJ and take it somewhere to be diagnosed.
