    You can monitor frequency outputs via SAFCII...i always keep an eye on it Unfortunately i cant make it to the shop. Its 350 miles away...i have to do this on my own time :nono: I will attempt the listening method most likely tomorrow, im losing light quick now. Its coming from the front...

    Rod knock....already? are you serious?

    it did (with no PCV mod)....the mechanic was surprised too, it actually happened during a boost leak test (at about 14psi)...air creeped into the crank case and popped right out...didn't know what that 'popping' noise was until it was too late...

    Rod knock....already? are you serious?

    First off, yes, detonation can be detected but usually only sets small levels on knock readings....anywhere from 0-60hz or so in my experience. However they also detect rod knock, its just a much higher frequency level, in my case 48hz idle and 100hz+ any throttle. Its mostly a constant Hz...

    Rod knock....already? are you serious?

    Possibly a stupid question, but i've never built a motor's internals: if the crank needs to come out, couldn't i just unbolt all the rod caps, main caps and drop it that way without removing the pistons? If not, why do i have to do this?

    Rod knock....already? are you serious?

    So lets assum i threw a bearing....its in the very front of the engine from what i can tell so im thinking its rod #1 or 2. Now this is still a fresh build.... what are my options....? im guess pull the motor, drop the oil pan and work from the bottom only? Keep in mind im at school and...

    well i redid the timing last night, drove home (about 1.5miles). Went to mc d's last night (round trip about 1.5miles) and noticed it this morning....so very soon again though, i heard it slightly before i changed teh timing....but it wasn't registering anything on my sensors so i figured it...

    Rod knock....already? are you serious?

    Can't remember make off hand TBO, possibly NAPA oil which is bottled by castrol...one of the bigger companies? Had Mobil SYN in there till oil seal blew then i needed something to last me till next oil change so i got a little bit cheaper stuff since i owed the bank about $1 at the time :aigo...
