Need advice on what to do next. Video clip inside. - 8/27/2007 2:18:18 PM    Bluntz|   Posts: 1 Joined: 8/27/2007 Status: offline So i got this car at a really great deal and i need to know 1 thing in particular. There is a huge knock, here is a sample clip of motor idling, and a sample of the motor being revved, basically i wanna know if i can tear the top of this motor apart and fix this problem myself or should i look into getting a new used motor and just swap them. If there is a chance this can be done myself i would rather go that route so i know whats going on with this motor and have confidence as opposed to getting a strange motor from the yard. This motor has 100k on it so i think i can get more life out of it. Thanks for any and all comments or advice. Here is a link to the video of my Dodge Intrepid Idling at first and then i rev it up a few times. http://www.zshare.net/video/33439642b09457 < Message edited by Bluntz| -- 8/27/2007 2:27:03 PM > Post #: 1
