----------- Date: 16 May 2010 05:31:00 -0000 From: das24rules@xxxxxxxxx so, i tried a few things on casper. thicker oil (20-50) the knock went away for a little bit, but i was POSITIVE it was a bad rod. well, someone had suggested to pull plug wires to till it quit knocking trick. yup, same cylinder i lost the rod bearing in last summer. i know that bearing was going bad for a while, but could NOT hear it till there was no bearing left. these 196 cast iron blocks are so thick, you cant hear anything in them. it had probably been bad for a while, i just couldnt HEAR it till there was no bearing left. meaning, the rod had been punding around for a while. now, itis beat out of round. it knocks HORRIBLE above 2500 rpm.
