Well I took my car for a trip, and probably the last. My engine starting knocking really bad. Before it was a tap, now it is definitely a hard knock. It sounds really bad. It is coming from around the valve cover but then again it is sort of from the middle of the engine, hard to tell. I just need some thought on what it might be not exact. So I can kind of get an estimate of how much this is going to cost to fix. Hopefully I don't need a new engine, it would be nice, but I don't have the money right now.
thanks in advance |

Is it knocking or clicking? Clicking is just the valves and their general wear and tear. happens to almost every engine. They just need to be reseated. And many guys go without ever even doing that, because well, its just that common and not that big of a problem.
