Cant you just ask the people at the car place?
I have a 1997 Chevy Malibu with 176k on it. Never had a new engine or anything, runs like a champ. It has been making a knocking noise when its cold.(until car is warm) for a long time now. It still makes a little one while at idle, not loud or can even really be heard though.
To fix a knocking engine noise in a 1989 Nissan 240SX, start by checking the engine oil level and condition, as low or dirty oil can cause knocking. If the oil is fine, inspect the engine for loose components, such as heat shields or exhaust parts. A more serious issue could involve worn bearings or a damaged piston, so consider performing a compression test or a rod knock diagnosis. If the problem persists, it may be best to consult a mechanic for a thorough inspection and possible repairs.
An engine knock ia almost always very serious. Stop drivng this car and take it to a professional. Not a repair for a novice.
The knocking noise in or around the catalytic converter comes because something is broken. It could be a pipe or a strap or something else. Fix it before you leave your exhaust pipe on the road.
You will have to replace it. The bearings are worn out in the blower motor.
Short of a complete engine rebuild, you could try a heavier viscosity synthetic oil. However, this is just a temporary fix at best. If you are hearing excessive lifter/rod noise, the engine is in need of major service.
The crank noise in your car could be caused by issues with the engine, such as worn bearings or a faulty crankshaft. To fix it, you should have a mechanic inspect and repair the engine components causing the noise.
Sorry bud but that means that you have what's called a " Rod knock", one or more of the main and or the rod bearings have gone away, need to break that engine down to fix it. jr
It sounds like a connecting rod bearing going out. The only fix it to have the motor rebuilt before it goes out. If you wait until the engine blows you will have to buy another engine because of the damage that will be done.
If it is deep in the engine, the engine may need repaired/replaced.
Internal knocking inside the engine is almost always a sign of worn bearings. Crankshsft, or rod bearing would be my guess. The fix, if it is internal, is overhaul. Before opening it up, make sure the knocking is indeed coming from inside the engine.
