Name that knock?

I keep getting alot of diffrent answers for whats wrong. It knocks all the time intell you really rev it up. I was reving it up to get it to go in reverse. I am low on tranny fluied. Anyways, the motor runs strong and smooth but for that knock! So I figured I would post a video of it while I but it back into the driveway. So let me know what you guys think it is. Adam :-)

Re: Name that knock?

its a rod hammering, unless something is loose (e.g. altenator) and its tapping against something, but sounds like a bad rod bearing to me, please don't rev it up anymore, thats painful to even hear

I only reved it up to get it to back up. I don't mean to do this. lol. Everything else is tight that I know of. But when the motor is running you can feel the tapping when your hand it on the intake. Adam :-)

It just runs to damn good I think to be a rod. Wouldn't the motor run a little ruff or somthing. Adam :-)
