Knocking Sound????
This afternoon i was getting into my truck after school, and i started it up and noticed a knocking or clicking sound....Just started today i guess... It really doesent sound like a rocker arm could it be though??? Or could it be a header leak??? Or maybe something else?? Im clueless.
Thanks Jason

Have you checked your oil lately? I had the same noise coming from mine and it turned out to be the dipstick got tweeked a little on the way down the tube and was barely coming in contact with the crank, not enough to hurt anything, but enough to bug the hell out of me.

Could be a any number of things, you need to zero in on it's where-abouts, such as upper portion of engine(valve covers/heads), lower end (block/oil pan), exhaust, up front (water pump/belts/timing cover) or in the rear of engine (flywheel/trans). You can probe with a long screw driver or wooden dowel (broom handle) by placing one end up against your ear and the other end on different engine components while the engine is running, as you get close to the source, it will get louder. Once you get a better idea where it's coming from we can work from there.
