when i crank it up in the morning i cant hear it but as it heats up and when i get to where im going and put it in park i can hear it. it goes away under a load and you can only hear it at idle. i think it might be the flywheel but not sure. any help or tips to solving my problem would be sweet. thanks ahead of time

you may want to get it checked out pretty soon, may be a flywheel and it could be a rod bearing on its way out.

jyaughn

i thought it might be a rod but if it was a rod it would get louder under a load and mine doesnt

Mine knocks like crazy.. Im just gonna drive it till it blows... Yours MAY be a worn cam or stuck lifter, but without hearing it we cant really tell you...

jyaughn

yeah thats what sucks i cant get a good sound on my phone to record it

valves, lifters are a possiblity also I have had it happen where it overheats due to a bad heater core or head gasket and you won't hear it till the engine starts to get too hot. If your not overheating then most likely not the last two. You could have a sticky lifter though or need the valves looked at. Just some thoughts

jyaughn

yeah it doesnt over heat it stays below 210 no matter how long i drive it

l would have someone check out your lifters and valves and mybe stethescope your motor (not nearly as technical as it sounds)then, but it's really hard to diagnose without hearing it a knock to you could be something completely different to someone else.

jyaughn

yeah im taking it to my buddies shop tomorrow to see what he can do for it

You can pull the inspection plate off the bell housing and check the flex plate that way.

You can try different weight oil and see if that helps.

jyaughn

i didnt even think about taking the inspection plate off thanks for all the help you guys. oh and for oil i use 10w40. not sure if thats right tho
