engine knocking????
so i have a 89 honda crx and it has a fully ls engine swap in it and yesterday i was driving on the highway and when i got off my car started shutting off and then i started hearing this knocking coming from the engien and i got off and looked and it was coming from the bottom of my engine after that i drove it home and everytime i took it off gear to stop it would shut off but the engine would stil knock when i was in gear .. if i was accelerating it wouldnt knock as much as when im idleling does anyone know what the problem would be?

Dude my car started doing the exact same thing today and I have a 90 crx with LS swap. Cruising down the highway, all of a sudden power loss, coast to side of highway, car just shuts off. Have it towed home, start it up and tapping from bottom end. I talked to my dad and he had a car do this once before and it was due to too heavy of oil and extreme cold. Here in Ohio its about 2 degrees for the high without the wind. So im gonna put 5w30 in there and see if it stops. If not its more then likely a rod about to go through the crank/block.
