Anyone know of a way to quiet down a rod knock for a while. Some people say
light oil so it gets to the bearing quick, others say thicker oil is better.
ANY suggestions ?


Thanks !

Replace the bearing, assuming it really is rod noise.

Well, heavier oil won't repair a bad bearing, assuming that is even your
problem. From your incoherent response above, hard to tell what your
problem really is.

If indeed you have a rod knocking and not a valve tappet you will not
have to listen to it for very long because you will soon have a big
hole in the side of the block.

Yes indead; I do belevieve that it is a rod knock.......ALL I asked
for was a little advise to see if anyone knew of anything that would
help for a short time. You have been as friendly as George the Bush at
a UNION MEETING...4 cly Chrysler engines are know to have bearing
problems. I never would have bought this piece of crap.....It was a
gift from a well meaning friend.

Yes, either drive it to the Republican Convention or give it to Michael
Moore.

And then decide what cheese goes best with your whine.
