This morning I started my car to go to Wal-Mart and I noticed that the engine was knocking quite a bit. Ive never noticed any sort of knocking previous to today. Im not sure if what is happening directly correlated to the engine but Im assuming it is. What exactly does this mean? Also it isnt directly related with engine speed. It will knock at the same rate as the engine speed but it isnt consistant. Like if I rev it to 3,000RPM like 3 times the knocking pattern is diffrent every time. My car likes to eat oil, I dont know where it goes as it doesnt smoke or leak. But regardless I have to fill up my oil resivoir like every 3 weeks. It was low on oil this morning. I now have the oil back to a normal level but it still knocks.
Does anyone know what this means and what i have to do to fix it? This post has been edited by MK153: Sep 5, 2004 - 12:35 PM -------------------- |

Well its offical... the rod bearing is demolished. Now my question is what do you all think I should do? Put in the 5S-FE or the 7A-FE. Id really like the extra power but I dont know if everything (tranny, accessories and wires) hook into the engine the same. How much is the going rate for labor to change out engines? Ive found a 7A-FE (just the engine) close enough to me that I could pick it up for $850 with 77k on it.
Sorry this isnt an exciting post about a 3S-GTE but all the same its something that I need fixed. Thanks in Advance for you replies. -------------------- |
