Knocking

[Killadelphia04]

Sounds a bit more than a lifter... Any input?

That doesn't sound like a lifter, truthfully. Too slow for a lifter.

If you want to find out, unplug injector one at a time. If the noise goes away, its rod knock in that cylinder. If it stays after you unplug everyone of the injectors, then its a collapsed lifter, and a bad one at that.

That is the easiest way to find if you have rod knock, it will essentially make a dead cylinder. Doing it that way there will not be a combustion in that chamber, which will not create a "knock" noise.

Thanks man I'll start process of elimination with your recommendations.

Also, if the noise is more pronounced under the car than while looking in the engine bay, then its a bearing. Engine bay vs under, its a lifter.
