Aloha,

2004 EB 4.0.

Car was running fine on Friday. Rained all weekend. When I started it on Monday there was this engine knock. Knocks with the serpentine belt removed. Put in seafoam and ran it for a while, no change. Drove it a few minutes ago. No codes. Runs fine except for the knocking.

Any ideas or comments will be appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

Video is set to private.

Two things that can "knock"
  • Broken chain guides.
  • Torque converter
 






Thank you Number 4. Video is public now.

 






If it's a spun bearing (which causes the connecting rod to slap the crank on the up and down stroke) you'll have glitter in your oil from the bearing disintegrating.
