I also posted this in the SVT forum but it's not as viewed so I wanted to post it here also.
So, I'm pulling into my apartment complex in my 97 Cobra. I speed up a little to get to the speed bump and when I reach 2000rpm I hear a knock. WTF? I find out after driving around to better hear it that it only knocks between 2000 and 4000rpm.
First thing I did was check the oil, it was a quart low, I topped it off. Knock still there. I changed my oil from 5w30 to 10w40 both full synthetic. No help.
I don't have any loss of power or anything except that knock. Most people are telling me that it's the crankshaft bearings. Is their an EASY way I can tell if this is the problem? I don't really know what I'm doing and I'm not ripping apart the engine.
If this is the problem about how much would this cost to fix?
*sigh* I miss my car.
