Default Re: Help diagnosing engine knock

7-Zero,

Sounds exactly like a bent rod. Take the pan off and observe the rod on the crank as the engine is turned over by hand. If it moves back and forth on the crank then it is bent. You can have the rod straightened at a reputable machine shop. While the rod and piston are out check for a loose pin or loose rod bearing.
