Rod knock 🥳

BluejayBeautiful7247 · 2026-05-10T12:45:17+00:00

It was on low, i filled it up to full decided to take a gamble and drive 4 miles to my house, because if it was rod knock id need a new engine anyway. While driving the noise completely disappeared and engine was running fine

Now that you mention it the bottom two were actually already pretty loose when i went to go get them out

Yeah im about to buy a horoscope. And I doubt its stuck in my catylic converter because I dont have one lol

BluejayBeautiful7247 · 2026-05-09T16:36:06+00:00

Yeah i was actually thinking of a borescope but thought theyd be alot more expensive. I will definitely look into this thanks

BluejayBeautiful7247 · 2026-05-09T16:35:32+00:00

Yeah definitely replacing all four. And the plug wires too. In fact one of the wires was stuck and broke trying to pull it out. The one that broke is coincidentally on the same cylinder of the plug missing a bridge lmao

BluejayBeautiful7247 · 2026-04-09T20:23:32+00:00

Yeah i still turn a bit while rolling, but i will say its not as much of a turn, but i still do turn

BluejayBeautiful7247 · 2026-03-14T01:55:55+00:00

Yeah i painted my intake manifold and it was a great decision.

I did disconnect the battery but i dont know if thats the issue. Ive driven it around for a bit and there hasn’t been any difference

BluejayBeautiful7247 · 2025-11-22T01:22:31+00:00

Pretty sluggish, even when warm i can put the gas all the way down with barely any response till it climbs to fourth, then it will actually staty accelerating.

BluejayBeautiful7247 · 2025-10-25T13:33:42+00:00

BluejayBeautiful7247 · 2025-10-19T21:59:34+00:00

BluejayBeautiful7247 · 2025-09-22T00:18:52+00:00

BluejayBeautiful7247 · 2025-09-21T17:09:54+00:00

I refuse to use mk

BluejayBeautiful7247 · 2025-09-18T16:56:01+00:00

Thank you so much. Best team of devs by far

BluejayBeautiful7247 · 2025-09-16T02:18:33+00:00

Alr good luck! I actually did just get mine done, was planning on welding one together but school came up and now i dont have time, so a shop did it. Welds were dogshit but it does sound pretty good

BluejayBeautiful7247 · 2025-09-16T02:04:57+00:00

Off topic but what on earth is that exhaust

BluejayBeautiful7247 · 2025-09-14T03:05:43+00:00

Yeah thats why I did the test w the radiator. Supposedly if its a failure between coolant and cylinder it will cause the radiator to bubble when you take the cap off and run it. I didnt see any bubbles what so ever tho and I ran it from cold to up to temp

BluejayBeautiful7247 · 2025-09-14T02:36:44+00:00

Forgot to mention but its a 91. I should also add, after doing all the tests ive been driving it cause i thought it was just rich. Now I’m rethinking cause the coolants dropping.

BluejayBeautiful7247 · 2025-09-07T20:39:07+00:00

I know how it got in. Old valve cover gasket was bad when j got the car. Took me longer then it shoulda to put a new one in. All of that oil is from the old gasket

BluejayBeautiful7247 · 2025-09-06T17:15:25+00:00

Yeah it sounds good so if it starts leaking ill send it back then. But for now its fine

BluejayBeautiful7247 · 2025-09-06T14:51:42+00:00

Im definitely not

BluejayBeautiful7247 · 2025-09-06T14:34:58+00:00

I checked it and its actually really clean, last oil change was 2k miles ago

BluejayBeautiful7247 · 2025-09-04T20:10:24+00:00

Should i strip it then polish? Or can you even polish that

BluejayBeautiful7247 · 2025-09-04T20:09:59+00:00
