well i changed my freinds clutch in his car and when i was done i started it up, thinkin gall was fine, after some time the engine got a slight knock not bad at all but when i reved it to 2k it knocked like crazy so i called him and he said it was like that so i left it alone

he came back sating it was knocking bad and the heat wasnt working.
i checked his oil and there was not a drop in the engine, problem solved
so put nre oild in and start it up but the problem still exists not to my surprize


what can it be and can the heat have anything to do with it or no

or is the engine toast


btw cars a 2001-2 mr2

 

you guys are dumbasses, who drives a vehicle that has a physical "knock", let alone let the engine run, your bearings and journals are prolly trashed

 

wait ur callin me a dumbass
ok smartass

 

agreed with above.

Drain the oil look for shavings.. check filter as well for shavings. You ran a motor with no oil, its junk.

 

ok maybe you guys need to read better
i didnt touch the oil all i did was chge the clutch and start it up and move it out the garage he drove it home, he said it was normal and the i was sitting in the car thnking it was the exhaust
then complained about the knock leter as it got worse
i never check ed the oil because i though he would know to put oil in his car

it wasnt my car

 

common since if u hear a knock check oil

 

no i called you both dumb asses, ive read your posts there pretty silly.

 

my posts are silly
please stop speaking kid

 

of course and what you know when i heaRD THE KNOCK I CHECKED THE OIL
when the car was in my hands i didnt check the oil because the knock was so little that it wasnt noticable in the car
maybe outside

please dont post to to blame someone im here to find out a solution

 

if you are asking a question and bashing every you can stfu.. also, work on your English.. maybe everyone is pissed off because your English sucks so bad

 

and also, what other answers do you want? the motor knocks now, it's junk.. get over it. stuff happens, build and learn

 

hey smartass get ur head out the hole and figure out when the bashing started
im looking for a solution, the engine is not garbage
is it hard to ask for opinions on the problem

i didnt know i had to be an english major to join this site

 

answer his question and keep your dumb remarks to yourself...thats not the point of HT...and to answer your question..from my experience...my gsr did the same..when i rev it up higher then 2 grand the knock would start knocking like crazy...so i took it apart and for sure i knew already before taking it apart that i had spun a rod bearing..and i was right..so you can drain the oil and look for metal shavings or take off the oil pan and expect it...and no the heat has nothing to do with the knock

 

ive read this guys posts before hes an idiot, you need to do some research, take an engine course, hell i dont know get a clue what your doing, why did you come here to ask a retarded question, do you know what causes a knock from the bottom end? if not find out, if so you should know what to do, instead of posting stupid ****, you should know to pull the oilpan and inspect the things that a knock would effect ie bearings, journals, metal shavings, ect. You ask us is the engine toast? we dont know you tell us, unless you post some pictures your the man in charge, we cant tell you much

 

to answer your question, lack of oil will cause an engine to start knocking.. heat... not so much unless extreme to the point of oil not doing its job

 

ok thx guys
quicksilver i dont know what ur talking about

a knock can come from several things, not just what you stated
maybe im not as mechanically inclined as you are but i sure as hell have repect for other ht members that help me out

 

honda tech woudnt exist if people had no ?'s
ive helped many people out meybe you need to do the same

and repect others
ur mom never tought u to respect others huh


and even though i have as much knolege as you more opinions wont hurt
i could have figured it out but it would take longer so thats why im asking maybe someone had the exact problem than i wouldnt have take a longer route to fix it

 

hey smartass get ur head out of the hole and read the first post quiksilver left.

that's as plane jane as it gets, if you start bashing people you will get bashed back, the most you could've done was ask how bearings get spun or 'trashed', the least you could've done is use the search button to figure out what can cause a knock

 

enough the guy got his answer...maybe a moderator needs to lock this thread
