Engine Knocking - Can't figure it out
#22
Crank main bearing ??? Gonna have to pull motor to take girdle off ..... Although that video doesn't sound like bearings ....... The noise isn't a deep enough "duck duck duck" noise it honestly sounds more like an exhaust leak at the manifold to head gasket......it's more of a tick from what i can tell in the video....
Good luck

This whole dont run more than 1000 miles with E85 is confusing me. What about all the cars running around using it all the time? They certainly dont change oil that often. I assume it depends on your driving style? So your saying dont take your car on an extended trip over a 1000miles? Also if your going to change your oil every thousand miles then why buy the most expensive oil? Cheap synthetic should do then.

Hopefully it's not the main bearing, I believe that's the one LJ spun when his oil thinned out while on e85. Try swapping in some new Amsoil 10w40 and a new filter and fire it up to see if the noise is still there. The new oil may be thick enough to quieten things just long enough to see if it happens to be the main bearing. Is there any way to check the main bearing while the pan is off without having to pull the girdle? Maybe try to move the crank around to see if there is any excess play? Not sure if that's possible though.
