I have something knocking in my engine. It's not a loud sound, but my guess is a bad rod bearing. It only does it once warmed up, and only at idle. Even then, it's occasional. I get a series of five or six clunks, then nothing, then a few more knocks.

Could this be anything else? If it is the bearings, I guess it's time for a forged 383...

Could also lead from a collapsed lifter, bent pushrod, or maybe a bad rocker... I tossed rod bearings on #8 myself, and tossed them nicely. Got a nice loud clacking no matter what I did. Blip the throttle - is it linear with the rpm, or is it random? (When I blipped the throttle it didnt make any noise, but as the engine slowed down it made a horrid 'random' racket)

I hate that feeling, knowing you need to pull the motor...

 

I think this is a right time to sell the car

 

I'd hate it if you did it to me, but, unless you have the money for 383 I'd sell it too.
