Is this engine knock? (video)
So I get in my car tonight to go get dinner. Start the car up nothing unusual go inside for 2 mins to grab my ID and money. When I come back outside to the garage I hear a strange sound coming from my engine bay. As I get closer to my car I hear what sounds to me to be engine knock. Now I’ve never actually heard an engine knocking but from other peoples descriptions that I’ve heard this to me sounds like engine knock.
Will someone who has heard an engine knocking please confirm?

Now back on topic.
How detrimental is piston slap, rod knock etc. to an engine? I obviously know I can not drive the car until I get the issue resolved. What I don’t know is how to resolve the issue at hand. Will need to completely rebuild the engine or what, any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Ayways to your questions. Those symptoms are very detrimental to an engine. Rod knock means that you blew a rod bearing either you cracked it or shattered it.
Piston slap as far as I am concerned is when the piston is slapping/tapping against a valve. Kinda like how you would tap vidas a$$ hehe.
If it is a rod knock(I cant see the movie cause I am at work) then a engine rebuild is a must. If its a piston slap then you may be able to get away with replacing that piston and the valve that it hit or is hitting, however, in that issue more of your valvetrain components may be damaged as well.
However, no one can adequately diagnose the precise problem till a tear down is done.

SKILMATIC thanks for all your input I guess I got some phone calls to make tomorrow. Yes, I agree with you 500 - 2000 just for the tear down is expensive plus all new parts and labor. This is not something I ever wanted to do but I may need to find a shop to finance all my parts labor I think Vividracing offers financing plus their local.
