I have been trying to diagnose what sounds like a rod knock, here is what I have:
91, 4.0, aw4...
I have checked the four 15mm bolts on the fly wheel, all tight, I cannot see any cracks but I am not sure you can even see the flex plate by just taking off the cover...
I have drained the oil and put in 60 weight oil, made no difference.
The knock gets louder as you raise the rpms, this is a loud knock!
When the engine is cold it is barely noticable at idle...
SO, any ideas, I would like to try and eliminate the flex plate or know for sure that is what it is, as it is the biggest job to replace...
Thanks,
Dan
