Default Re: Knocking Noise

Piston slap or center main are the main things I can think of. My 29 engine had the center main babbit completely gone, and it made a very loud rattle at any speed over idle.

My 28 engine has piston slap, and it's a lighter ticking noise that never goes away due to the amount of slop.
