So I recently changed the metal plate between the engine and tranny on my 89 SC because I bent it repairing the rod knock I got at 150,000 miles. After reassemble the first time, it was just a tick, that turned into a rattling/knocking noise over time. After changing the plate, no luck, still the same noise. I need some help diagnosing the noise. Heres what I have so far:
Knocks around 2500rpms or so when not moving
Ever now and then I hear squeaking when accelerating in 1st gear only at low RPMs
My ideas are:
-Lifter/Valvetrain
-Throw Out Bearing (has 20,000 miles on it currently, Autozone brand though)
-Rod Knock (I'm REALLY hoping its not this one)
How can I test these?
