I need an expert, I need a mechanic who works on the cheap or someone to show me what I need to do after it is identified. I have had 3 mechanics look at it, and cant tell me definitively what it is and want 700 to fix.here is what I know. ok, extreme Motor knock, NOT a lifter, sparkplug, or exhaust gasket. it comes from the bottom-center of the motor. The jeep is out in brookfield, i live ITP near reliant, too afraid to drive it here.
