anyone?

 

if it sounds like a tin can..then it could be ur cat. burning out..soon u won t hear a thing when its all blown out

 

no, i think it has something to do with my internal's , i can hear it knock inside the block HELP !

 

dude, if its from the inside maybe you should stop driving it and get someone to look at it.

 

What part of the engine is the knock coming from? The bottom end or head, and how loud is it? I wouldnt recommend driving it anywhere

 

You need to go get it checked out ASAP. Is it like a clunking noise from the internals?? If so, don't wait any longer. These are signs of an engine about to go, I know because it happened to me.

 

yea, its from the inside of the block, I just need to get an idea of what could be the knocking noise so I can get it fixed Noe Kozz what was wrong with your block to make a clunking noise??

Well my headgasket was gone, and my crankshaft was done. I noticed a faint clunking sound the first day, then gradually increased on the second day (even after adding a little oil). By the third day, I was on the highway and the sound got increasingly louder and the motor got sluggish, by the time I pulled off the highway and made it to a light (in efforts of heading to a shop) the motor just gave out on me. It turned over and started, but the clanking was very loud, and you needed to give it more gas than usual just for it to move. Definitely had a blown motor. I suggest you have it checked out, unless you want to check yourself if you have the tools around. In my case, it was my crankshaft.

 

did you check your oil levels??? when your oil levels are low then you will start hearing a tapping noise

 

this is what exactly happen to my car, expect when I came to a complete stop it shut off. how much did it cost for crankshaft repair, I may just buy a new block

 

If its coming from inside the block then maybe you should get it towed to someone who can properly diagnose the problem... If I heard a knocking sound from inside my block I'd freak! Goodluck...

 

Actually I didn't even bother getting it repaired, I just ordered another d16 as a temporary replacement. http://www.IAS.com thing that sux is that I was saving money for a swap, and as luck has it, I blew my motor.

 

how much did you pay for your d16 from import auto salavge

 

i payed 650 and it had 72k on it. i just got it today. its only the head and the bottom end. i threw a rod and my engine was doing just about the same exact thing as what everybody else was tlaking about. it sucked *** big time.

 

whoa, that's about the same price I payed.

 

I just called import auto salvage and got a GOOD price on a motor 1.6 sohc, good thing Im close by so I wouldnt have a high shipping cost, you guys are great ! my freind just bought his USDM gsr from there too !

 

that site.. http://www.ias.com isnt a motor place.. i looks like a page for a tech. college!.. whats happened?

 

are you doing motor replacement yourself?

the link is http://www.importautosalvage.com

 

sorry, that's what I meant, I'm slow today guys.

 

This happened to me and yes the engine was blown. I got my D16 with 0 miles for around $850
