1g knock need help please

[dsmzil]

i just got a 92 talon tsi, fwd turbo

the guy i got it from said the timing belt broke on him so he replaced the head
and all the timing stuff,
so i got it and it had a broken knock sensor and the balencing shaft belt was broke, and it was off time, so i changed both of those and timed it hoping it would stop knocking but it dose not.. i took the vc off and watched all the valves are they all looked fine everything in the head was moving fine.. also i can switch the cam position sensor 180 off both ways and it changes nothing.. the car runs like poop at all times but was wondering if you guys think its internal damage or whats going on.. im kinda lost at this point but still trouble shooting.. any help would be much appreciated

Does the knocking noise sound as if it's coming from the block? Does it go away after a while? It could be a rod bearing that spun and you need to fix it and stop running the car. You can buy used blocks, new ones, or just do a rebuild. Good luck

it sounds like its coming from the valve train rate in the middle of the vc, but i cant see that because the head looks brand new, i have not been driving it like that or anything its been in the garage, ive been trouble shooting everything i can.. but my buddy with dsmlink is about to come over and put his ecu in my car.. and im going to drain the oil and take the oil pan off.. to check out the bottom end somewhat..also the sound dose not go away, ive only had it started for maybe 30 seconds at a time..

Since you said the balance shaft belt was broken, I'd check out the bearings on the shaft. "Most" people replace the belt when they do the timing belt, may have overtightened it.

Sound like that?

You won't know for sure if it is a problem with the bottom end until you drop the oil pan and inspect things. This happened to me a couple months ago so I took the opportunity to do a rebuild with Evo 8 pistons and rods. Best of luck!
