cant say i hav acctually herd that term. but it will be reffering to eather, excessive clearance in push rods it workes the rockers,/commodore/chev or excessive clearance in conrods joines the pistons to the crank. what type of car is it?
No.
I doubt it is a rod knocking,it probably just needs a tune up.
Most likely a spun rod bearing, dont let anyone say that its a wrist pin, its not.
Knocking is usually associated with worn main and rod bearings.
Tie rod
eather a blown head or a bad rod
you may have a rod knocking and you need to take it to a shop asap
its probably a rod knocking its located on the starter
Bad bearing or rod
it reads if your motor is knocking. say bad rod bearings or loose valves. it will kick your check engine light on if it reads knock from the motor.
When your engine has a knocking noise, it could mean that a rod has been thrown. It could also mean you are low on oil.
If it is a connecting rod or bearing--be prepared to put in a new motor
