You can tell if you have a blown lifter by get someone to count of 10 seconds for you and you need to count how many times the noise happens in the 10 seconds and then multiply by 6. That should give you a number. Take that number and then compare it to your idle RPM's. If it's the same as your idle RPMs, then it's likely bottom end knocking. If it's half as fast as your RPMs - then it's valvetrain, like a lifter or an exhaust leak.You can tell if you have a blown lifter by get someone to count of 10 seconds for you and you need to count how many times the noise happens in the 10 seconds and then multiply by 6.
