22re knocking noise on new rebuild
#21
Rod knock.
Who ever rebuilt the engine was a dunce.
Sorry for your troubles but its looking like you going to have to measure the crank journals, bearings, and connecting rods to see what has been done.
Too much clearance is forgiving.... too llittle is not... and a pretty thick oil would prob make most of the noise go away. But the bearing and or journal needs to be measured and or fixed to its proper clearances. Can;t remember rod bearing clearance off the top of my head...
FSM ftw.

those are pretty much your only options unless they make like a .040mm bearing or something a lil smaller?
hmm, if your measurements were right that should have worked one would think.
you just swapped out that one bearing right?

Have you asked mechanic/machinist if you could take the tight bearing put it in another rod and have it bored/honed to within tolerance so it will work on the rod in your motor?

bearings don't work that way. it's the inside diameter of the bearing that is too small. not the rod end size. when they cut a rod down they shave off the rod and end cap then hone it out to fit the bearing. this is called cutting down a rod.

Man I feel stupid, but I knew somehow there was a way to machine the rod so the brearing would fall into tolerance. Is this a good option or should he do a crank and rod replacement. In my opinion if the rod has to come out then he might as well do a complete short block rebuild. Did somebody say something about maybe the wrist pin could be worn also?

i went ahead and pulled the engine, put in a new crank and bearings, everything else looked still like new, i just replaced the crank and new front and rear oil seal. The knock is gone and the truck runs great, just having to get the idle fine tuned, i set the idle with a tach when @ operating temperature but when i start the truck after it cools down, the idle is way too high and im going back and forth trying to get it down, the timing is spot on, so maybe i need to adjust the TPS now.

thats as rod as it gets..
it would mean over sized. because the crank/rod is wore down you would need an "over sized bearing to take up the extra space.. if the crank needs fixed you have to pull the motor or drop the tranny. if the rod needs fixed you have to pull the head.

this thread has opened up my eyes it sounds like the exact same happened to me!! and I thought that the chain tensioner runs of pump press!!!! ?? but ya thought it was like the ones on the timing belts know I know !! so thats why the pump spring shim helped a little going to do a timing chain with metal guides and a turbo pump!!

I know this is an old thread, but I figured I'd try here first. Here's a video of my rebuilt (under 1000 miles) 22r. It's an 83. It just started, or got louder a day ago. I've pulled all the plugs while running and doesn't change the noise. I can feel the knocking with a wrench on the top left (passenger) V.C. bolt. All new bearings, ground crank, timing kit, etc. Valves adjusted to .08/.012 hot for the 4th time, V.C. nuts just past finger tight. Any help greatly appreciated! I'm supposed to leave on a cross country trip in a few days....
