| Sounds like the engine's knocking.  There's enough oil in the motor though.  When I start the car, the knocking fades in and then fades out.  It is a manual.  My friends say that it could be the crank shaft or a rod.  And if so it sounds like I might as well get another motor.  Anyone know of a good place to grab a used replacement motor?  Good thing I havent done a lot of work on my engine.  I was saving up for a swap but don't have the money yet.  I just need any motor to throw in my car so I have transportation to school.  I'm broke because of insurance, property taxes, and school and books.  Was thinking of doing the swap myself with the assistance of a guy that's done swaps before.  Is it hard??? Does anyone know a site that would help me walk through?  Thanks a lot. |
