    Sounds like a rod bearing for sure.Get a mechanics stethescope or a long screwdriver and put it on the area where you think the noise is coming from.You will be able to tell between a normal mechanical noise&one that sounds like something is wrong right away.I would start on top&work my way down.Start with the valve cover area to see if its a rocker arm,it could very easily be that too.Good luck and let us know what you find out,pics if you can.

    From the valve cover you don't hear the noise almost at all. But under the car/ engine pan its loud.

    Just leave the Rislone in there for a good while and you will be surprised how it will keep on working to make it run quiet. This product will also start making your oil stick to your engine part's a little better...

    Thats exactly what mine sounded like, and my #6 piston was broke all to hell. The skirt was in five big pieces in the oil pan.

    Mine sounded like that and I thought it was a rod knock but it was torqure converter bolts loose. Just had the engine pulled down and the bearing were all good

    I'd check the torque coverter bolts first, easier to get to. If not there then you most likely have to pull the crank. don't wait till a rod is sticking out the side of your block to get around to it. That's a serious noise, now that I've listened to it three times, I would have to say spun or wiped out bearing. No amount of "magic lube" will fix it and the longer you wait the worse and more expensive it will be to fix correctly.
