Motor making a pounding noise

That's why I built my wooden crate... to get it home from the machine shop.

And yes a dolly with casters from harbor freight is cheeper than 4 casters from harbor freight.

You know - recently I was fearful that I was going to be banned from the Lilburn Horrible Freight for getting into it with the troll that works there.
Worse than being put on the no fly list!
I woulda had to drive to where? Kennesaw or some gawd awful distance just to save face!
Luckily for me - cooler heads prevailed.
 
Like the ad says - hurry - sale ends soon! :D

You don't even need the actual coupon - just the code.

Just to prove no one is perfect
Earl - does this look like a set of cushion grip screwdrivers to you?
And pricey ones at that! LOL :D

Cushion is a relative term I guess. I have a bunch of lesbos that live in the Kennesaw/Acworth/Marietta area.

The only HF store I've ever been to is in Dothan (on the way to Panama City)


*bonus points to anyone that gets the SGCTC refrence* LOL

To Panama City - for a frollicking good time at the Splash Bar?

You have you very own lesbos?
You mean - like - slaves or something?
Chastity Bono style or Portia de Rossi style?
I'm very picky when it comes to lesbos.

We all know that the sloots all live in Kennesaw.
It's a well known secret.
And I dated one.

Sorry for whatever that double thing is about, my laptop finally died yesterday and I'm doing this on my Nook. It doesn't know if it's a cell phone or a computer. Merry Christmas everyone!

I never torqued the harmonic bolt back to spec. I just tightened it as tight as I could, would this be an issue. I don't think the knock is a bearing or a piston slap. I'm thinking maybe a HG or maybe a crack in the flywheel that I can't see because I unbolted it from the TC. Again, I went on YouTube and search engine noises and spun bearings and what not and my knock isn't anywhere near as loud as what I heard from a piston hitting the heads or a rod. Mine is actually fairly quiet, but again I have no clue. What could be some possibilities. And I also ran my motor for no more than 1 min max without oil pressure a while back because I was told it's self priming(I guess not) but it ran fine after that. I also drained my oil and there is hardly if any shavings in it and it doesn't look milky to me. But my coolant is substantially lower than what it was.
Throw some other ideas at me and let me know what I should check. Tell me anything, because I'm not really sure if it is as serious as you guys are making it seem like.
When I drove it less than a mile home, on acceleration there was no knock but it was whining very loud. That's why I speculated a trans issue. That's out of the picture.
Anything!?!? Shoot me some ideas!!
No negativity, if I f**ked the motor up then so be it...it's me fault. But I want to try and get a better look at this.
 
Danny, You have been told several times.....Do a compression & leak down test then report back. If you do not have the tools see a local auto parts store for a loaner program.
 
Keep in mind watching videos looking for sounds is no where near accurate. The mic can't accurately pick up the noises, and your computer speakers will alter it again. Think about stuff like gunshots on TV or when someone with a cell phone has a screamin ass kid in the next room, or home porn with a radio on in the next room. It never comes out the same way it goes in.

Checking your balancer bolt is quick and easy enough. Clamp a set of vise grips on the flexplate to act as a stop, eat your Wheaties, hang a wrench on the bolt and pull until right before you blow out a nut.
 
Sorry guys I no longer use paypal after they screwed me over twice :/


well then set up a bank trust fund or something........

Folks here are offering some free money to get the car back on the road and you take a pass? That's crazy! :wacky:

I just don't want it to seem like I am in need if money...which I am but I do have a job although I only have so much money considering I'm still paying this motor off :(
 
Also (ignore the lack of knowledge) how would a compression test tell me if I have a hg issue? Sorry I feel like I have asked that before /:

If an hg is popped you will most likely have a much lower compression reading on the cylinder(s) affected than the others.
 
Ahhh ok well I wanna do this today so I will run over to meijer and see if they have one...pretty sure they're opened today
