my accord is having a consistent knocking sound i was told it was my rodbearings i changed them out the sound is still there two of my friends accords have the same sound one is dim and the other sounds almost like mine my car oil light comes on at idle but as u accel it turns off i thought it might be a bent vavle until i heard my friends accords is it possibe oil sending unit is out or oil pump any body in the dallas area who could take a look at it id greatly appreciate it.

 

did you check the clearances on the crank before you changed out the rod bearings?

 

when your talking about the clearance of the crankshaft, are you talking about the clearance of the connecting rod bearing journals, or clearance of the free play of the snout of the crankshaft?

Im a little confused, but we didnt measure any clearances we just took out the connecting rod bearing and replaced it and torqued it down to spec.

thanks

the knocking sound, sounds like its well within the motor, its kinda like a thump, but from the sounds of it, its not a rattle of any sort on the upper end of the motor.


Help will be greatly appreciated.

 

did you replace your main bearings? Have you checked your compression?

 

No i didnt but i have found the problem though its the oil pump im just going to scrap the f22 for a h series motor instead thanks for the heads up though.

 

if your oil light turns on while you drive it then you got a oil pressure issue...

on my f22 i spun a bearing and my **** sound like hammers were being smacked inside...

stock f22 do have a slight noise sounds like a knock not sure why but all ive heard got that noise motor fine and runs hard fora f22 just some unkown noise inside
