Rod knock, maybe
Rod knock, maybe I'm almost positive i have a rod knock. It can only be heard when i burp the throttle and its returning to idle. What are my options at this point. i plan in pulling the pan and checking every bearing one by one. What are the chances that the crank has to come out?
I wish it was a lifter but the knock is louder when listening to it from underneath and i think my knock sensor is picking it up cuz the car is slooow now
Ill get a vid up tonight.

its hard to tell i have a full exhaust so its hard to hear much. but when i pass a parked car im pretty sure i hear it. and my sensors are desensitized from my tune so its gotta be louder then i think
You would hear a rod knock over an exhaust lol. You may just have an exhaust leak. I had a leaky header that sound like a damn rod knock and ended up building a new engine for it only to have it do the same thing again. Turned out I had a leaking header at the collector. Had a bad weld on a primary pipe to the collector. They sound just like exhaust leaks and if you don't hear it over the exhaust and engine it is more than likley not a rod knock at all unless it just started and it should get louder fairley quick. CHECK YOUR OIL AND FILTER!!! look for shiney stuff. Drain the oil over top of a strong magnet and see if it collects anything. Cut the filter open and look to see if anything is in it. If you don't see anything then start looking at the exhaust system. It could also be a rocker or lifter. As to why you have no power I don't know but check that oil and filter first to see whats in it.

Verdad Gallardo Its def not exhaust. as for the oil is almost muddy looking not milky and feels really thin im gonna pull the pan this weekend and see what i find but i found a shortblock for 175 locally so im gonna pick that up just incase
What dose your oil pressure look like? You said you have a full exhaust on it. Here is a pic of what I thought was a rod knock and ended up being an exhaust leak. There was no evidence of an exhaust leak when I looked either. I went over mine 6 times and could not find anything. This is in the header looking inside the collector. One is with light shined up into and the other is light on the outside with the camera up in the collector. Don't be fooled by an exhaust leak, I could have used that money for other projects that I had going on insted of building a new engine for it.
Oil pressure is like 40 at start up then quickly drops to 25 after a minute of idling. And after a half hour of driving it will drop to 0 at idle. and sometimes wont have the 10psi per 1000 rpm. It doesnt take me very long to drop the pan. I have a lift and all the correct tools. It should take an hour tops.

Im picking up a shortblock and swapping everything over. Its getting all new cam bearings im just hoping the cam isnt shot, but i think its going to be ok.
Jaycenk- i highly recommend a lift if you have the means. i would be alot more pissed if i had to put in another motor without one
