Anybody out there, have something even remotely similar, to a rod knock ,yet, quieter ????
In my 05 R , just purchased in march, 49,000 miles, I have a feint knock in the engine. I have, just 2 days ago, changed the oil ,5w30 synthetic . The knock seemed to have gotten louder.
I took it to the dealer , in San Jose Ca, they do not have any readings coming from the block sensors, (didn't even know they had sensors),
they pulled the valve cover , on the nosey side, checked rockers,pushrods and lifters, (as best they could) and have now targeted the main bearings and the connecting rod bearings.
I have a $3000.0 powertrain warranty with the car , of which, all money is only usable by a chevy dealer. The dealer already ate up $1000.0 in troubleshooting ?
I am looking at a $10,000.0 new crate engine installed ,minus the 2-3k.
I get to pay 7-8k for my new crate engine installed ????? ( for a truck I just bought. Not to mention all the work I have already done to her.
Severely bummed , is an understatement , (it should say severely burned) !
Bottom line is, I am looking for a bit of help with , what I call, ghost knocks ? They cannot be isolated or found with certainty. And are internal engine knocks.
I will scour the library and the site after my post.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris
