Re: knocking noise

[Cheapass Ron <rapieper@yahoo.com>]

I reckon I'd be getting me a stethoscope of some sort...the big ol'
screwdriver works...and listening all around before disassembling
anything.  At least this'll let you narrow it down...top end, bottom
end, clutch/flywheel, etc.  

Also, need more info...does the noise occur when revving?  All the time
at 3000rpm?  When dropping rpm down through 3000?  Under load?  What's
your oil temp?  Oil pressure; during knock and not during knock?
