The oil was done less than 500mi ago..

what and how is a rod test?

I went out and moved it again. I'm thinkin rod knock again, that thing is hammerin, pretty sure it's from the block. It also smokes now when when I gas it. Sounds like a jack hammer at about 2k. Reminds me of that evening on the freeway with that Cortina. There's a wrecked 96 w/149k about 30mi away, he's asking 450. I wish I had the space. Thanks again for your replies.

Thanks again, I won't have time to make a couple more checks for a while. I'll keep posting.

I had a 66 Ford Cortina GT that drove with a terrible rod knock, the car drove until it went through the side of the block. The fact that this car doesn't want to drive puts me on the flex plate. The oil looks alright from the dip stick. when I get time I'll pull the filter and dump it out to see whats there.

Would the flex plate be an easy fix?? It sounds like it's banging on the case, can't tell if it's the bell housing or not.

This guy says it was the flex plate. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwZIcM4fn5c&feature=related I'm not trying to be a pain, just tryin to rue everything else out. Thanks again

Are you guys a 100% on the engine. I moved it today, it doesn't seem to want to go forward to well. Would the transmission make such a noise?

Daughter never liked the car.It looks like a real easy swap but we don't have the money for another engine.

I don't have a place to make a project out of it. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/3045503222.html PostingID: 3045503222

Thanks. Im not shure what I'll do from here. Will the 2.2 run with the same computer?

My daughters 97 Legacy LSI 2.5 DOHC auto 220000+ mi Started making this loud sound today, it gets a little quieter when it's in gear. The end of the vid is in gear R then N then D.
