Harmonic Balancer needs to be replaced on the front of the crankshaft. Use a screwdriver as a listening device. Put it on the oil pan and listen for noise. This is only if you determine balancer not the trouble.
If you here noise from oil pan most likely rod bearing problem. You just received two engine evaluations that would have cost you at least $100 dollars.
Good Luck
Noise coming from engine in Oldsmobile Cutlass could be as a result of an oil leak in the rear of your engine. This makes the gears to wear off leading to severe knocking noise.
Sorry, disregard this question, I didn't word it properly.
knocking noise
NO. A knocking noise in the engine is a problem in the engine.
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.
A bad harmonic balancer can cause a knocking noise. The harmonic balancer doesn't actually produce the noise, but it can cause the noise in the engine.

The knocking noise is commonly called spark knock. The knock can be called by the engine timing not being set correctly, or using gas that has too low of an octane for the engine.
You can't, its done by the computer if you have a knock noise, replace the knock sensor. its locate on the back of the engine near the alternator.
A knocking noise can occur from worn engine mounts. When the rubber insert on the engine mounts are old and brittle the chassis is not protected from the weight of the engine. Creating loud vibrations that get louder as the vehicle goes faster.
Having a bad rod bearing could cause a truck to make a loud knocking noise and shake when driving at high speeds. The engine having a coolant leak or an engine timing problem could also cause the knocking noise.
it could be your valves or your engine
