Enging Knocking 101
:awais: Okay.
About a week ago I took my civic up to 150mph testing top end speeds,
and soon pulled over to check oil level. Oil was fine among other things.
20 minutes later I went to check how the car handles around 130-140mph range, So i drop the gear and am gone, but as soon as I hit 120 at 7000rpm the car seems toped out not going past 120mph at ALL!
When this happens after about 3-4 seconds of trying to push it past 120, the car stalls, so I pop the clutch and Motor starts again with Knocking.
Go to the Gas station, Im low on oil and need only one quart, Dip stick flew out and lost a bit of oil. (1 quart added)
Okay ,
1st thing I did was stethescoped the Head and block, Head Sounded normal while block was making a faint cracking knocking noise.
2nd thing I did was checked Valve Clearances (fine).
Last thing im hoping for at the least is one of the Rod Bearings, Get it looked at Monday.
Know my question is does this sound accurate, Like a rod bearing?
Car still starts fine and is fully drivable (probably not for long) I don't drive it!
*Knocks off and on while idle, and pretty much always when accel. 3,500-4,000 there is pretty much no knocking, and the rest it knocks at.
Thanks~
