03 Mach 1 Engine noise
I have a 03 Mach 1 that is making an engine knock noise. I took it to a shop and all they said was that the noise is coming from the bottom end and that it'll need a new/rebuilt engine. I don't mind doing that, but I don't want to spend the money if I don't need to right now. I don't have room in my garage nor all the tools to pull the engine myself. The car has 117k on it, here is the noise it's making.

Re: 03 Mach 1 Engine noise
Thanks does not sound good. Can you get an audio from under the car? Do you think it is coming from down below (aka rods) or could it be valve train related from the top? Seems to idle just fine though so kind of doubt valve train related.
Also concerned with all the knock/slap when you first started it up. Could be a bad timing chain tensioner or chain guide broke. Both not uncommon.

Re: 03 Mach 1 Engine noise
You can use something like a garden hose that is around 4 feet long that you can put one side against your ear. You want to go around the valve covers, idler pulleys and the lower part of the engine while the engine is running. You should be able to hear where the nose is coming from with this method.

Re: 03 Mach 1 Engine noise
Never heard a garden hose before. I've used a broom handle or even a 2x4 before but never anything rubber. Cool Tip
