Engine knocking??????
What is it exactly that makes an engine knock when the bearings are bad? Is it the bearings spinning and the tabs hitting?

I think knocking has to do with detonation.
If your engine is knocking then it is detonating...that's why they made the knock sensor so when knocking accures it retards your ignition timing. I hope I didn't just write dumb ass ----. Because I sometimes mix things up hehehehe |
Re:Engine knocking??????
You could also have a "rod knock" where the bearings on the big end of your connecting rods are worn, it starts making noise at certain rpm's and loads.

What up Rolla?
You got your new Clutch? |
Re:Engine knocking??????
Yeah I'm pretty sure it's what rolla said about the rod knock at higher rpms. I know when the rod bearings are worn out it makes that knocking sound, but I was wondering what exactly makes the sound. Does anyone know if the crank bearings being bad would make the knocking sound too. I know if your valve clearance haven't been adjusted for a very long time it also makes a knocking sound too.

Re:Engine knocking??????
A lot of times, you hear a rattle-type knock when the bearings ---- up, but usually if they are very worn, you are hearing the piston hit the cylinder head around the squish rim. This is especially true on engines with closed-chamber heads and factory flattop pistons.

So if this occures over a long period of time isn't your head pretty much ruined?

Damnnn that's nice man.
I got my injectors allready and am getting my new external gate from turbonetics this week. I've desided to put the Toyota CT20 turbo in my car. I'm gonna do it ghetto like you...PVC pipes for charge pipes and with the FTB and 450cc injectors. |
Re:Engine knocking??????
buddy pre ignition isnt detonation.
pre ignition is when the fuel mixture is ignited BEFORE the piston reaches the top of its stroke, very hard on the engine. detonation is when the fuel mixture actually explodes instead of burning. |
