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 :-)

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

Checked them 2 weeks ago and all are tight. Adam :-)
It just runs to damn good I think to be a rod. Wouldn't the motor run a little ruff or somthing. Adam :-)
