[TalonFiero]

Kind of a dammed if you do dammed if you don't troubleshooting method but rod knock will go away if you pull the injector plug for the cylinder with a spun bearing. Basically start the car, pull the coil or injector plug for each cylinder.

Also rod knock is most pronounced when you let off of 2000-3000 revs, unless the bearing is absolute toast and knocks all the time. It will be sound very rythmik.

Flywheel bolts are a possibility. Had it happen to me on my 2.4 builds and if you would have heard CornFed 2.4's talon (my old talon) this past summer when a flywheel bolt came loose, you would have swore it was motor. It was awful, ask Aaron.

If I can help. let me know.
