Thread: I think I'm in big trouble, knocking sound from engine....

Wanna know the easy way to tell if it's a motor?

It sounded like it might be and then stopped starting nice. Balancer shouldn't cause that, flex shouldn't cause that.

90% sure from the vid, it's a motor. Definately though.. give it a quick rev ...the noise a lower end makes on decel is unmistakable

Just checked another video I had made, its makes a lower pitched "knock" on decel but it makes a higher pitched "knock" on accel. Pretty sure its toast, especially with finding some sparkles in the oil.

I will obviously check the balancer just for ****s and grins.

Thanks for the help guys
