Hello Board,

The car is 1990 240 non turbo automatic. The clock is just turning 130,000.

Ive had this engine knock. Not heard when engine is cold. Heard less while car is in drive. Heard more in neutral.

I recently did a timing belt/front seal change. I used the rope in number one cylinder to hold the enging still while loosening/tightening the crank shaft pully.

Now, after the car is warm, I hear the knocking all the time, idle, in park, in neutral, in drive.

Car runs good.

What do I make of this noise. Piston slap? rod knock? What?
