Check number 5 spark plug and wire.
Make sure the wire isnt damaged or burned and the spark plug gap is fine, and no cracks on the porcelain.

There seems to be alot of motors letting go here lately. I guess they are just showing there age and the beatings they took. Yea that engine sounds like its done drain the oil see how shiny it is.

Yeah sounds worse than the last two knocking motors I pulled over the last year.
My roommates wife killed three of them since I've known them, two with knock 165k, 66k, then the latest just lost oil pressure and she drove for a few minutes til she felt she found a safe place to pull over, 127k. I just stabbed my spare 166k motor I had laying around into the car, I hope she manages to not kill it. It treated me well without a issue so I'm hoping and praying she doesn't kill a 4th one!
