Thread: Engine knocking - possibilities

It could be a million of things but on my car i got a great deal when i bought it because there was a knocking but when i was looking at it i noticed that a vac line on the supercharger was slightly broken and was starting to rot. Bought the car brought it home it was knocking in 2 or 3 of the cylinders went to autozone got a 2in line for free and fixed it. the car runs like brand new

Checked the SC coupler, nope.
Checked the flex plate, nope.

Checked the dampener...

Harmonic Dampener FTL!



Car was taken to a dealership, dealership said it was a bad engine, estimate for repairs was $6K or $7K total. Owners parked the car, put it on craigs list, and sold it for $1K.

Had a extra dampener laying around so...donated it to the car, so only out time and labor, which was free anyway.

So I think dealerships are good for something after all. LOL

Thanks for your help ya all.

Now we know its not the engine, we can continue on as planned with a build to make it to the 12's. On a budget.
