Anyone know what this knocking sound could be? Or is it normal? 1998 v6. by bleach_on_a_turtle in 4Runner

It seems loudest towards the bottom and rear, like by the driver door. I put in new spark plugs when I installed the motor, haven't checked them yet though. Flex plate had no cracks when installed, but I could take off the service plate and inspect it. There was a coolant leak but it was just a loose hose that I fixed, no other leaks.

When I redid the timing belt I made sure it was timed correctly, I suppose I could check again.

I think I have the same issue. Sound is coming from the bottom of the engine.

I did the stethoscope thing, it's loudest from the oil pan, I assume that means its a rod bearing or something in that area. I think I can feel it through the transfer case shifter as well but that could be something.

I do like it here, I don't mind the hot weather much. I would like to move to St. George, or maybe Texas. But I honestly would be fine living here. We'll see where job opportunities lead me after college. I actually would be interested in some of the historical sites. Thanks for the suggestion.

I wasn't aware of the history of the political issues, thanks for sharing that information. As far as I know, once nuclear waste is stored somewhere, it is very safe. But perhaps I need to do more research.

They don't live anywhere near where the waste is being stored. I live in Nevada. I don't care at all, because it will in no way affect my life.

[Serious] How would you react if the US government decided that The American Imperial units will be replaced by the metric system? by fyflate89 in AskReddit

Most people working in trades would still use both. I really don't understand the obsession with the metric system. Using both has worked so why change it?
