It is not ridiculous at all, that is the closest sound one could ever emulate. Very helpful, thank you sir

My man supposed to learn something new everyday and you sir have shown me more than a few today thanks for sharing my brother

My brother that's a gift. I mean anybody can learn to be a mechanic but to take something so complex and break it down is amazing. Preciate it

Now that was a fantastic clear cut explanation. And the sound difference with the screwdriver just made me get it. Thank you. You should be a teacher.

That was the best description for those two noise I have ever heard!

By far the best video I have seen Straight to the root of the problems. Great video.

By far the most informative video I've found thus far on my search to properly diag my own knocking engine

Thank you, sir, for the simple and easy to understand explanation. Some of us on this side of KZfaq need it put in layman's terms. Thanks again.

Dang it never occurred to me to listen below, that makes perfect sense. Thanks for the help !!

Pure genius. The screw driver sound demonstration. Thank you. Great video.

Man, this is one of the best explanations I’ve came across. Thanks for breaking it down like that. After watching this, I think my 5.3 has a lifter issue or bad o ring on the pick up tube. Fingers crossed.

OG trick is use a long screwdriver and put you ear to one end and the metal end where your checking

This guy's know about Mechanic the guys who know just hearing noise and can identify the problem is a real Mechanic

Hey auto guy diy love the old school methods for sure that’s literally the way I learned I just wanted to add if a guy didn’t have a stethoscope you can always take a long screwdriver and place the flathead (etc) end on the valve cover or oil pan and put your ear on the handle end it also works great to single out what pulley or tensioner has failed along with many other uses just make sure your hoodie strings necklaces etc are not going to get into moving parts such as fans belts etc thanks for your time and videos

Good video. For those curious Lisle makes a mechanic-specific stethoscope kit with two different listening rods to detect either mechanical or air/vacuum type noises. Part # is 52750 and costs a little over 20 bucks.

Beautifully explained I'm in the process of this same problem right now almost certain now it's a hydraulic lifter 07 Trailblazer 4.2

That was a excellent tutorial. Precise and to the point. I'm going to save for customers. Awesome 👌

Great job, so many videos with experts but none of them feel real, keep on doing exactly what your doing bro. 🤟🏾

Man just helped me out alot inherited a 2006 dodge ram 1500 SLT with the 4.7 and im confident its lifter tick very awesome video thanks for the help earned a new sub

Well done, friend. Informative and super easy. I was actually taught this way to diagnose engines long ago. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Definitely subscribed. ✌️🤙💯

Not exactly my noise but you helped me rule that stuff out and I like your style, brother.

Very helpful info. Thank you for breaking it down and making it simple to understand.

You're good! I genuinely learned something important today - now thinking that I've got a lifter tick.

great vid pal.... The sound example with the screwdrivers was just spot on!

Hello Auto Guy DIY, I appreciate the knowledge. That’s diagnosis like a professional right there, and we thank you for helping us become one. Be blessed!

Way to reach that goal.keep that good info coming.job well done.

Hey, that was brilliant with the srewdrivers. You were spot on with both noises.

This was helpful.. I'm experiencing this in my ford fusion right now

I am subscribing to your channel man!!! Those are very hidden tricks and tips a lot of mechanics hide from regular people, thanks man !! I will never forget what you just taught me, I am subscribing now!! Thanks!!

Definitely good info. Short and to the point!.

Great sound explanation my brother !

Bro that's the best explanation I've heard yet thanks!

Thank you so much. Simple & powerful.

Man thank you for this, I just learned ALOT thanks to you!!

Great video. Way to demonstrate the difference between rod or lifter sound. Easy does it.

Wow, you just solved my query. I have a 2012 Ford Escape (132K) and its ticking not knocking. Another Yt video led me to buy Lucas oil treatment. We'll see.

Wow. So easy and helpful! You are great, thanks much!

Thanks friend... after many vids, you're the first and only one to explain how to tell the difference to a newbie wannabe diy-er.

Good thing I came to your channel i honestly thought my lifter in my 6.4 hemi was going bad but its the injectors functioning properly. I had my SRT for 11 years now and do my oil change faithfully every 3,000 miles with 161,000 on the dash from day one.

Simple and beautiful… thank you my friend… I have lifter tick

really helpful actually, thanks boss

Damn man that is a genius way to simplify recreating that noise. I will try tomorrow.

those were some good sounds you made! good comparison!

Nice job, now going to go out to my car which has sat for past two months and determine if it's a rod or valves. Thank you.

You just made my day. Thank you!

It is not ridiculous bro, its actually the very accurate sound of if. Thank u sir

Thanks for this video you have a new subscriber! So awesome… thankfully it actually did just need oil. Not my car but I guess I’m the mechanic in my neighborhood😂😅.. Full credit to you for making me crawl around underneath the car and listen to all the noises… then I went and figure out reasons I could possibly be knocking, and it was simply the oil. I never put any oil in it they had an oil change over 11,000 miles so word to the wise - just check your oil people

This was a big help thanks man

You are the man. Great video. Thank you !!

A1 noise demonstration! Just subscribed, turned on all noti's and look forward to all your content. Peace from NC.

Holy cow, you’re awesome. Pretty sure now I have a lifter tick. Thank you so much! Super cool video and very informative! And love your deliverance.

Very informative, thank you sir !

This is EXCELLENT advice! Thank you! I am going to get into flipping cars and I can obviously run a compression test to really make sure there is no problems with the engine but if it got a rod knock even with perfect compression that would be a deal breaker.... this video helps that....going to jack it up and then listen....I also happen to own a stethoscope cuz I bought it to listen for termites in walls so I can use that too

High miles Toyota land cruiser, makes the ticking sound(lifter) only while driving, nothing at idle. even when reving the engine in park no noise. Still a lifter problem. Thanks, and a very clear and understanding video

I learned more from you on how to diagnose my issue than the past 25 videos I have watched.😂 Liked and subscribed my dude

Awesome! Old Blue is a champ. Ticks or no ticks she still running strong 😊 because of you lover bear

Thanks for sharing sir vary helpfull tipo for my hemi 5.7

Great description bro. Thanks you!

thanks man... really good tip with the stethoscope. god bless you

Thanks that was very helpful much appreciated 👍

Great video. Thanks

Thanks for the experience and know how brother man.

Thank you man that helped out a lot

We had a Ford F-150 with a 460 in it..1978…that beast ran and ran..even when it started knocking…a ford big block or small block v8 have very distinctive knocks…I can tell if it’s a ford v8 or not by the sound of the knock before even seeing the vehicle lol….that 460 blew a rod through the oil pan and still made it the few miles back home..blowing metal chunks out the bottom of the engine…lol…when they blow…u know it! lol…

Terrific presentation.

Thank you! Great video!

Your absolutly right i like how discribe it by useing screwdrivers plastic to plastic and metal to metal. Exactly what it sounds like in a honda or toyota 4 cylinder.

Thank you very much pal!!!

Aye gang, appreciate the knowledge boss man . Got a 07 Escalade & it’s definitely need a lifter noise

You should have 417k subs not 4.17...you are filled with wisdom

By far the best video on this topic, mine sounds like lifters ticking Metal to metal sound, But When i inspect all my lifters Nothing is loose At all It looks good so i have no clue what’s going on, The ticking gets faster the more rpm’s

Great video bro! 💯

Thank you brother.

Excellent.

short simple to the point. Thanks for the info. Helped me determine what the noise is I'm experiencing

TNKS. SIR. NOW. I WILL FIND OUR. BLESSED BE. SIR...TNKS

Nice video and thanks brother

Your right this old school mechanic stuff

RIGHT ON IT REALLY HELPED ME

Thanks that help me out a lot mine are the lifters thanks so much

beautiful informative video man

Great vid 👌

Great video. The screwdrivers perfectly represent those sounds, except I am still stumped. My mother has a 2016 Cadillac ATS 2.0 turbo. I have been cleaning up the car, doing some service work on it, and getting ready to sell. The car only has 67K miles on it, and suddenly, I have the loudest knock I have ever heard. Sitting inside with the windows up and the hood down and locked, it's so loud, like I had the windows down and the hood open. The tone is more like the sound of a rod, yet it sounds like it's coming from the topside. I haven't been underneath it yet, but it may not make much difference in determining where it's coming from because it's so loud. Damn, I need to get rid of this car like yesterday..Ugh!

Very good video.

Thank you

your camera work is actually quite good for handheld

Subscribed, good info. Thank you.

helped me big time my G

Good examples w screwdrivers!
