Good evening,
This is my first time doing this so please bear with me. Within the last three days there has been an increasingly loud knocking noise coming from the motor. I have a 4.6 l. The knock gets faster as you rev the engine. There is oil in the motor. I checked the flywheel (as it was offered as an idea. Knocking sound was present when truck was cranked and moving.) Myou next thing to check is taking off the belt to make sure it is not an accessory like the ac condenser, or the alternator. My thoughts lean toward a thrown rod, or the oil pump isn't pumping oil to the engine. I would greatly appreciate any advice given. I fear the worst as this is the only car I have. I need it back running quickly as it is the only mode of transportation for taking my babies to Dr. Appt. and such. Thank you in advance for any and all help you give.
Thanks,
Chris
