Infamous Knocking Slipped Sleeve DII
#12
Sleeve knocks after the engine is really warm. Say after 10 minutes and driving a few miles.
If you have a knock upon start up - say in the first 30 seconds - it MAY NOT be a sleeve.
Could be lower end - rod bearing.
Before you spin a bearing, you can get the bearing shells for about $300 and put them in yourself.
IF you have a sleeve knocking at engine startup - that seems rare.
If it is 40 to 30 degrees out and you first start up and have a knock, probably NOT a sleeve.
