I have a serious knock (sounds like a rod) comming from the center of the engine. I removed the cerp. belt to disable the supercharger and get the same knock. I then when and pulled each spark plug wire off each cylinder to see if I noticed a change in the knock and nothing. I would think if it was a rod going out the sound would change, as the cylinder is not firing. I do not get a knock when just cranking engine over with out the coils firing.
The engine starts right up and runs but has no power and makes terrible knock or clank.. Anyway to figure out if this is a rod or not? I would think if the rod was going the engine would still run okay until the rod finally gave in. Help any suggestions on what I can do to figure this out, I hate to start dismantling when I'm really not sure what this couold be.. who knows it could be something simple. The knock isn't a ping so I don't think it's an ingnition issue.. Anyway, any advice would be a great help. How do you test for a bad rod anyway. Thanks
