engine noise
I am looking for an engine but am worried about the large number of trucks I see running around that sound like they have a knock in the engine, what causes this and is it a hard fix, and what to look for when getting an engine to avoid the knock, I might have an engine laying around for a year before i complete my swap and don't want something that is knocking when I'm done. Is there a year range to stay away from?

unless you truely know the history of the vehicle the engine is coming from, its just good practice to check bearings, compression, cam wear and lifters among other things before trying to install it in a vehicle that you wish to rely on.
