    remove your spark plugs so it's easier to crank the motor by hand. Put a 15/16" socket and a ratchet on the crank pulley and turn it.

    It doesn't sound like rod knock......sounds more like something is rattling around.

    I have a mechanics stethoscope you can use to help pin-point the sound.....as long as clean your ears really well before using it. :-P
    One of the First: 2008 Liquid Red Pontiac G8 GT (hers)
    -Intake, Tune, Magnaflow Exhaust, 40% tint.
    -Next: Rims, lowered?, headers?

    One of the Last: 2009.5 Stryker Blue Metallic Pontiac G8 GXP M6 (mine)
    -Intake, Magnaflow Exhaust, 25% tint.
    -Next: Headers and tune.
