RE: Knock Knock
i dropped the oil pan and what do i find but a lot of metal shavings..i used the screwdriver method and couldnt really feel a deiff anywhere but i could hear it coming out of the front.I pulled each main cap one at a time and replaced in the same position and theyall appeared fine.i have oil pressure...The metal shavings look like pieces of aluminum but its abone stock late model 302 so i dont kno what could be aluminum..The knock had no rhyme or reason..Start and hear it then go away for awhile then back.When i started this morning is was loud at first then there but not as loud..im confused

Again, going to guess a rod bearing. If a main was spun, you'd have pressure issues and it'd be alot more obvious.

RE: Knock Knock
i believe i found the problem..
1. I thought maybe the eccentric cam for fuel pump was rubbing so when i took off lower pulley found the bolts had loosened and i shook it and it made the same sound so Check
2. The shavings were from the eccentric rubbing ill post a pic later its ground off aluminum from the timing chain cover..
So thanks everyone ill let u kno how it does once i change to an electric fuel pump and new gaskets and whatnot and fire her up.

RE: Knock Knock
thats the way i looked at it.At first i felt stupid but then i thought well it got me to drop the pan and address the shavings before they got sucked through the pickup...Anyone got ideas for a electric fuel pump setup...So far looks like im order a painless relay P/n 50102 and mallory fuel pump P/N 4110 both from Summit...I am open to suggestions tho cuz u guys kno what ur talkin about.Ill have pics of the front cover tomorrow.You guys have got to see this.thanks again

Yeah, I knew it wasn't a rod bearing. Those suckers are very loud and clack all the time. Glad you found it. Get back once you get her repaired.
