Engine Knock undet load
I am looking into buying a 1930 tudor. The engine knocks quite loudly under a load, like doing uphill grade. Are there minor things to look for or is it more serious?
Appreciate your input, Jack |

Re: Engine Knock undet load
Likely a Center Main bearing is too loose. You might confirm it by retarding the spark and see if the noise goes away. Generally this symptom means the engine is "terminal" however maybe not. Better budget as it is though............

When you put it together, don't forget the dowel pin retaining ring.

30tudor, that is a retainer plate, not a ring. Bob

Re: Engine Knock undet load
If you are luck it is a knocking oil pump or maybe a wrist pin.

Re: Engine Knock undet load
This is not about the retainer its about the gentlemans knock in the car he is thinking about buying. I think he should buy it. I dont know where he lives , but if close by I would travel and help him......just the way I am about A,s gotta love em .....Dave

Re: Engine Knock undet load
Can you get it make this noise while the car is setting still ?? If so, it may be easier to figure out what it is if you know where it is.. With the hood open try varying the engine speed, the spark lever position and removing some plug wires/strips..

Re: Engine Knock undet load
Had a dull knock in the engine for the delivery. never had it under load. Since it was just in the chassis I pulled it out and looked things over, very loose worn out engine, no shims left and .012 wear in the cyls on average. It would have been ternnal if I had driven it that way for very long. Rod

Re: Engine Knock undet load
I will try various conditions and catalog exactly what is going on during the knocking. Speed, spark, condition ( setting still, different speeds, removing wires)
Thanks for all of the feed back Jack |
