close car is gone

 

Knock are really no good period. Most knock comes from the block, either the rods have too much play and the pistons. Hope for you it's not your block because blocks to be rebuild cost more than you pay for that swap with labor.

 

it doesnt knock when sitting idle just when u give it gas.

 

Yes sounds like your screwed. Most likely rod knock if its that loud. Not going to speculate on what the problem is as it could be a list of things.

 

ouch man, i remember my rod knock. PAINFUL

 

Sounds like a good time to save for a built motor.

 

I used to live in Newport News, if it was mine I would take it up to Nick at DTM and let him fix it. He is in Chantilly, VA, a couple of hours from you but well worth the trip. His number is 703-327-7047. There are few people that know those cars and engines as well as he does that are located in that area. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

thanks man i will look into dtm. and i will definilty get back to u

 

May want to check one other thing, I assume the engine is good-- the fly wheel bolts. when you pull that motor out--be sure the fly wheel bolts are tight. I had that happen once and the motor sounded exactly like a rod knock-- fly wheel was loose.

 

just drop the oil pan and it was number 4. i will be making calls today.

 

To make myself clear, you bought a car had a blown motor, put in a complete new motor and it blew? Assuming your car is stock or minor bolt ons, not sure what was done before that had blown the original motor, I would check the tune to see if thats what cause the original issue and if so to flash the car to a stock rom along with your immobilizer

 

oh the beautiful sound of knock. As i read this thread i actully heard the knock in my head! haha, i still remeber it from my cobra days

sorry to hear man goodluck theres really no easy way around knocking.

 

i know i had one back in the day with my honda si. but i have worked on them so i took care of it. i just havent really worked on a evo before and i dont want to do anything to make it worse. It looks pretty similar but i just want to get more info before i go trying it myself.

 

real bad news now the crank has a small wave in it. this sucks

 

well the bright side is youre a hop skip and a jump away from buschur racing...
