I just fixed one bad knock in my engine which was the t-belt tensioner. Now I am noticing another knocking from the engine. It is a sort of subtle low frequency knock. It doesn't sound like rod knock to me but it very well could be because I haven't heard lots of rod knock in my years. It definitely doesn't sound like piston slap. I can barely hear the knocking in the car and I can only really hear it at idle. In this video, it's most noticeable when I put the camera under the car.
I have Delta 1500 reground cams in my car which make more valvetrain noise. The noise I am referring to is not a tick (which this engine has PLENTY of), it's a deep sort of drawn out and resonating "knock". Could this just be the camshafts "loping?" I can't say I've really noticed it before but I certainly could have missed it.
Thanks...
Here's a video of right after I put the cams in, and if the noise is there, it does not seemed to be as pronounced...
Thanks guys!
