Hello every one,
I picked up a 1994 Toyota Celica with 137,000 miles for $300 yesterday. It has what seems to be a rod knock. The owner said it has only been driven 10 miles since it started knocking. She said the engine shut off in while driving and when she started up it started knocking. I have made a youtube video of the knock. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1CnaWB_8u4 I have heard that rod knock is loudest when you let off the gas. Thats what I am trying to do in the video but the noise goes away when I let it go. Also its pretty quite on idle and third gear. I am really hoping its the torque converter bolts. I took out spark plug wires one by one yesterday but the noise did not go away. Thanks. |

correct. if coolant is in the oil it looks like chocolate milkshake. you might have caught the rod knock soon enough before the bearing chewes itself up. i still think pulling the engine and dissassembly is a must. dont take chances or you will be doing it all over again
