i searched and it goes to find out i may have had a spun bearing or rod knock but just want to make sure.


it happends when ever i start up the car, even when its cold. When i drive it, it does get louder and i can hear it over road noise and low music.

it was driving fine last night tell when i got at a stop light the oil light came on and died?! i know for a fact there was oil in it cause i just put new oil in there maybe a week ago!

i got home, and checked the oil level... and there was the right amount of oil...

the sound is coming from the number one piston, or so right over the vavle cover.

im tired of this stupid motor


HELP!

 

i vote rod knocking... is it continuous or is it just on occasion? cause i was with a friend when he threw a rod n he was only doing like thirty it went for awhile and then bang... it was done

 

same thing happened to me

i believed that ur bottom end is f***ed.....i think my oil pump wasnt workin

im gonna take all apart 2day and put new parts in ther

yea it does it all the time, and it just started last night

 

ya sorry but i think that rod is about to fly... i wouldn't drive it


edit:
what type of motor is it?

 

its a z6 bottom end with a y8 head

 

ya i think that rod is about to go... thats my $0.02

 

Sounds like a rod... drop your pan and check it out. luckily enough you can get ad16 real cheap if you need to. who knows, pick up a d16y8 and get you'll get baby vtec (only on the intake but hey, better than nothing) I have a y8 and i love it.

 

i got a y7 in my garage that i'm gonna clean up n hone n then i'll sell it but probably not wantin to wait that long

 

bump anyone else?

 

sounds like a spun bearing perhaps. Check for flakes in the oil pan. If you see bronze flakes, you'll need a bottom end rebuild. If you don't replace/fix it, you'll throw that rod.
