Marty Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 take a vid on your phone and post it up, doesnt sound like a knock coming from the bottom end of the engine does it? Could just be a blown exhaust gasket. We need vids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waderz06 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 The only time i've ever heard a car sound like a machine gun is when the bottom end is about to go! I really hope this isn't the case though could just be a serious misfire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
