I should note, I'm decent at car repair, and have recently (2000 miles ago) changed the entire top portion of the engine, and the transmission. It's a 4 cylinder `94 topaz. I'm thinking it may be a piston rod, but, am still unsure. and what you may need for your car is a tune job and for that you might want to buy some new mufflers for your car and that will make it noisy they way you like it

What is causing engine knocking noise on supercharged Hummer H2 after running a little while?

The Hummer H2 is a 2005 SUT with the 6.0L Vortec and a Magna Charger supercharger. It runs great with plenty of power, but I'm concerned about some noise I'm getting out of it. When I first start it up, everything sounds fine. After running a mile or so, I start to get a knocking sound. I only notice the sound when idling, not when running.
