Might be an loose cam loobe, see my threads for more info

 

That vid is down for me. So can't hear it.

I have lost count of how many times a terminal sounding engine knock was indeed a loose exhaust manifold.

The sound goes faster of you raise the rpm?

 

yes it goes faster when the rpm's are raised

 

Link is down again.

However, it reads to me as broken bolts on the driver's side exh manifold. At least that is one problem you have. Common issue, moderately difficult to fix yourself.
Get new bolts & gasket from dealer.
Sound should be from the driver's side only. Might get a little more quiet once it is warmed up.

If it is rod knock, it's going to get worse/louder soon.

Exh manifold bolts broken won't get worse but your mileage may go bad as incorrect readings of burned gasses continue to leak and the O2 sensors do not see what they expect to and subsequently richen the mixture.


Search through my posts on this topic for more info on the repair procedure.

 

Here's a link to the video for those who it doesn't work for:

 

Ok....got it. Thanks.
I can tell you for certain that it's not the exhaust manifold making the loudest knock noise.

As suggested earlier, by T-Hawk, it sounds like a cam lobe got knocked loose or at the very least a rocker arm fell off.
Not a disaster in either case but it will be some labor $ to fix. Stop driving it right away until resolved.

 

I'm not driving it at all. Only started it when I bought it to listen to the knock and to take the video. I did a compression test and all was good but It occurred to me last night that if the rocker arm fell off, the valve will close. So tonight, I'm taking the valve cover off to see

 

I pulled the valve covers. Rocker arms are still there where they should be. I checked the cam lobes and the cams are good. I'm just gonna pull the engine and do a total rebuild.

 

Jeep Gods be with you then.

Did you pull each rocker arm egen you did inspect the camlobes for play?

 

How do you check the cam lobes for play ? The rocker arms were tight so i was assuming the cam lobes was good

Yes thats correct, with the rocker arm in place there is no lash, or tension between the rocker and lobe, so no Way to try wiggle it with rocker arm in place.

I made a thread about it, which shows everything, pls take a look at it, you will find it by my old threads.

Also here you Go,,,

 

You may also have an issue with the timing chains. Chains were an excellent idea on the part of Chryco but they stretch. I'm with Tomahawk, A cam lobe may be the issue, rod is possible. If you are going to rebuild it look into having the heads taken care of, some rebuilders mod the oil passages so it flows better.

 

I drained the oil today, the metal shavings was full of oil...get it ? alot of metal

 

I see what you did there. Good to catch that stuff early so you don't ventilate the block. Doesn't need extra cooling in the chambers.

Main or rod bearings. Ugg

 

Yeah. I kinda figured that. Almost got the engine out then to tear it apart to see which bearings.
