Thread: Knocking

I'll try to get it in the air but the knock is more toward the top of the engine but I should also add it didn't want to start this time around either

For someone who's such a 3800 god you would think that you could add information that might actually be of use to the OP.

This. Get the shield out of the way and see if it gets louder. To really narrow it down grab a stethoscope and start checking various points of the engine/oil pan/bellhousing. I just had a flex plate go on me a few weeks ago and it sounded a lot like that.
