What is the probability that an engine knock is a loose rod?
The engine in this car is only 13 months old. It has only been driven to car shows last summer and has sat in the garage for the past 7 or so month until just about two weeks ago. We took it to the first car event last week end and it started this knocking noise. I am hoping it is not a rod obviously but how can I can check without taking the pan off? It would not be easy to do. We do have another engine but I don't want to go thru this again so soon. Any suggestions?
