pilot bearing is great
throw out bearing is new

took it out one night did past 100mph (once) slowed down the this knock came on. it went quiet then it came back. took the car home.

pulled the head off and found 2 bent valves. replaced with super tech and seals. reinstalled. knock was gone. hit the gas and it came back. but i felt the knock through the clutch pedal. so we thought of the flywheel coming loose. this happened to me in my b20v where the fly bolts backed out and it cause a "knock" as well as my friends ls. also fly bolts backed out.

so he pulls the trans this morning and inspected everything. all in trq specs and all bearings good.

i told him that day it was a bearing from the rods. he wants others opinion before he tear it apart. any idea anyone?

i still think its rod knock lol.

 

Can you get a video clip of the sound?

 

well..the trans off now. he did all this before i woke up..i wanted to make a video yesterday but i didnt have my camera.

 

my buddy broke the imput shaft bearing on his cable si tranny and had a nasty knocking sound that was somewhat intermittent.

 

Drain the oil and pull the pan off. Check for bearing metal.

 

he drained the oil and no spec of metal came out..but he took the pan off anyways and there was tons of shaving sitting there. bearings are more than likely done. thanks all.

 

single cam oil pump has to be ported??

 

pull one plug wire off at a time while the engine is running and rev it up like you normally would... See if the knock goes away. If it goes away when removing #1 cylinder, youve likey got a bent rod or spun bearing on that cylinder.

When you take away the spark, you take away all the force pushing the piston/rod.

 

its been taken all apart yesterday afternoon.

upon tear down
-bearings in #3 is gone.
-crank is done
-oil pump is done
-1 fj rod is done.
-ton of metal specs in the pan.

 

man i feel you on this

i spun a bearings about 3 weeks ago tore it down, and polished the crank, added new bearings to the rods, and walla made 757, went to the track and wamo spun every bearing and oil pump broken
