Knocking sound from engine

Our database doesn't say to remove engine, but, it looks like you remove about everything else.

You should be able to use a long metal shank to listen at the valve covers and oil pan, where it sounds the loudest would be where I would look. You place the tip of metal shank on the valve covers/cam cover, whatever. The other end of the tool goes on that bone backside of ear, helps magnify the sound. Do the same thing at the crankcase.

Is your oil pressure ok?

If you want the procedure from our database for removing oil pan, let me know.

Yes, the oil pressure is good.

I would much rather take the heads off then try the oil pan again :-)

I will use the shank idea, thank VERY much!

If you use the tool to listen, just make sure you don't get anything caught in fan--belt--pulleys or anything.

You have to use some of your own judgement with these database procedures. If you see a better way then use your own initiative. You will have to decide if this is something you want to tackle.
