might not be the engine afterall, I'm hearing strange knocking sound and I have exhaist leak either from cracked header or the crossover pipe isn't on right

so I took a long screwdriver to the valve cover and all sounded normal on both sides

question if it was a spun bearing on the rod or crank would I have been able to hear it through the valve cover/ screwdriver method?

right now I'm hoping its the exhaust banging on something

if the engine was just out and it is making a nasty knoking noise you could always check the torque converter bolts and make sure they are not loose!

ok I just read a thread somewhere on a turbo buick board but now I can't find it

somebody was asking about torque converters making noise and other people were saying its common for aftermarket converters to make noise


could this be my problem? I have 9/11 3600 lockup converter that I got from CK with my stage 2 tranny

could this be my problem--I'm hoping it is
