bad rod bearing tests.

[blazer2007]

Still looking for clicking noise like flex plate hitting something as posted on another thread called ' cracked flex plate but not cracked '. I,ve removed the oil pan thinking the oil pan baffle had come loose and hitting crank but nothing. Oil pan looks clean , don,t see any burn marks on rods and can,t wiggle any caps up and down but can wiggle sideways abit and have read that is normal. I only get the noise when running , but with coil disconnected and cranking motor over I can,t get no noise. Torque disconnected and no pulleys on. Would I hear rod knock with just cranking motor over with oil pan off ? Could the oil pump make this noise even thou I have great oil pressure ? I think I might have to go back to valve train and look harder. I,ve done everything if you want to read other thread. Engine has maybe 8000 miles on a rebuild from a shop.
