Hey gents,
Been driving the Contour around, and Saturday I was making a right sweeping turn and after the turn I heard the dreaded knocking. It doesn't knock at idle all the time, so I am just trying to verify that it is actually rod knock and not something else.
I can replicate the noise by light - partial throttle between 2k - I assume 6.5k RPM. Under decel or moderate - full throttle, it doesn't make noise until 3k on. Sometimes coming to a light it knocks, and sometimes it doesn't. Another thing to note is it will knock if you go from moderate to light throttle, or between shifts.
I will try and posts video before too long. Question is, if it is bearings, can I drop the pan and replace bearings from the bottom? Or am I going to have to pull the motor? Thanks.
