Knock in 3rd & 4th gear Options

[block]

So at first I thought it was my suspension but now am beginning to think it's my engine knocking. it'll knock in 3rd and 4th gear. As I accelerate, the knock will accelerate and vice versa. Am I screwed? If it's knocking, will it make it through winter? I just need it to make it through winter so I can finally do a swap. If I have to granny drive it to make it through, I'll have to. I can't risk having the engine die on me Thanks.

Are you sure it's not pinging you're hearing (also known as spark knock?) try a tank of premium? And/or some combustion chamber cleaner to get the excess carbon out. Like Seafoam's DeepCreep or the Amsoil PowerFoam. could be it's so carboned up it's raised the compression to where you have a lot of pinging happening, It'd be under more of a load in the higher gears?

well what do ya know, 2nd gear just got the knock. drove it home from work 20 minutes ago and heard it. what does "pinging" sound like? i know my water pump is buzzing, telling me "REPLACE ME" but it'll last until spring. Spark plugs were replaced right before I stored it. Otherwise sounds like it's coming from the bottom of the driver side. Tranny shifts good. I'd record but dont have a camera Shoot! I'll try something.
