Guest Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 Without hearing this "knock" it is difficult to give your friend advice. The bad news is it is most likely a significant problem, which will result in catastrophic engine failure if you continue to run the engine.<P>I suggest your friend IMMEDIATELY take the engine out of service, pull the heads and oil pan, with a competent mechanic standing by. <P>Pete Hartmann<BR>Big Springs, AZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
