update to my engine problem

[djuorna22]

so knocking noise started and kind of came and went now at 2k rpm its easy to hear... first thought was rod or rod bearing. so I tried holding at rev where I could here the knock then pulled each plug wire off one at a time but knock never topped so does that mean it has to be something else? timing belt loose?something more top end? I don't really want to just start tearing it apart I'd like to have an idea where to start or if its even worth it.

Are you possitive, before all else, that it's not lifter tick? Figured I'd ask to eliminate the idea.

 

[djuorna22]

I honestly have no idea at this point that's why im getting others input before I try anything

 

[spyderdrifter]

Gotcha. Do you have access to an engine stethoscope?

You could always drain the oil and inspect it. Don't rule out a bearing just because the test's didn't indicate it.
