OK to make a long story short...... i have a rebuilt 6 bolt forged pistons/stock rods, new bearings, machined block etc. Well the car only went on occasional drives around the block and stuff, no boost, for roughly 10 months and mostly sat in the garage cause i could not yet tune it (car only has about 300 miles on the new motor). Well i know i have a problem in the drivetrain somewhere which i believe is my Transfer case leaking everywhere because there is gear oil (I believe) that leaks onto my exhaust and smokes everywhere from under the car. The car also does not shift right...... Besisdes that now i have a knocking noise, i cant pinpoint the exact location but it only does it about 80% of the time and only around 2500 rpms and goes away on de-acceleration, i just changed the oil in it today and have not found any metal shavings. I also do not have a BS so i ruled that one out already. Could something in the Drivetrain make this noise? Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks in advance!
