Ok before anyone tells me to search, I have. Anyways i just replaced my clutch,pilot bushing,oil pan gasket, and rear main seal in my KA. and now when i turned it over i heard a knocking sound, i am afraid to start it does anyone know what it could be?

lmao.


anyways, what kind of knock - where did it come from? deep or shallow sound? meaning, high pitch knock or low pitch knock?

[CAMBOS13]

low it can really only hear it while im inside the car.

[benarovi]

maybe somethings loose in the tranny, when the motors on causes lots of vibration and thats is what u hear. idk just a thought

[AsleepAltima]

are your engine/trans mounts all tight and in good shape?

yea its not a mount i know for a fact. what are the chances its a rod knock? anything else that could make a knocking sound? i guess its time for the motor to come back out.....

[AsleepAltima]

I'd run it first, at least make sure it's a knock before you go any further.

and take a video maybe, it would be easier for us to help you out.

You did remember to reattach the oil sump, yeah? Jussayin'...

[KiLLeR2001]

prime the oil pump before starting the car

[r20crazy]

did you torque the flywheel bolts? remember to reinstall the dustplate between the motor and trans? starter bolts tight?

Does the noise make while u open the throttle? Or those it stop while crusing? Because if it sounds like its knocking it can probably be the tranny or the valve lifters. My brother 300zx and its alot of work to rebuid.
