Message	1. The knock: Cut about a 3 foot length of garden hose. Start the car. Have someone rev the engine to produce the "knock". Put the hose against the oil pan, and see if you can localize the sound. If it is a rod knock, it should be obvious to hear at the pan. 2. Possible compression issue. Do a compression test to indicate valve or ring issues (smoking may indicate this). Unfortunately, if you have a knock, bad valves, or worn/damaged rings, the engine needs to come out and be rebuilt. 3.Seems like you might also have fuel or sparks issues as well. Hope that make sense, Mark PS What color is the smoke?
Follow Ups	I'm hoping the clank are lifters, but doubting it. Thoughts? - jcserrano2925 06:05:03 03/19/15 Sounds to me like a valve hitting one of the cylinders. (n/m) - Tanley 08:53:05 03/19/15 I was also thinking timing, but never heard an engine where - jcserrano2925 09:39:59 03/19/15 Could be the valve snapped off and is now rattling around - Tanley 11:05:51 03/19/15 Re: I'm hoping the clank are lifters, but doubting it. Thoughts? - Goldchocobo 12:43:59 03/19/15 Could be rod knock, the first time I heard it was on - Tanley 19:55:49 03/19/15 I think that's way worse than lifters :( - Zuberman 14:02:10 03/19/15 Any other symptoms? ie. Loss of power, rough idle, smoking. (n/m) - SirpriZ 15:54:38 03/19/15 Re: Any other symptoms? ie.
