[QUOTE="mrbb, post: 134995, member: 13825"] OK< well, with 6,000 hours on it, its getting to where things start to wear out, like bearings and such, which can cause a knock Might want to look into what a rebuilt kit runs for your motor, and maybe have it rebuilt that is if you feel its worth doing, as rest of machine will also have the 6000 hours on things, so your history on up keep and conditions on rest of machine need to be kept in mind! and I am not saying that 6,000 is end of the world or ticking time bomb or anything, just saying, its not new anymore! And we all need to be honest with how much $$ we are willing to put into machines, its rather easy to get caught up in repairs, only to spend more than the outcome will be worth in the end ! all the more so in today's world with every part costing so much more,(if even available on older machines) plus if your not doing repairs yourself and paying someone to do the work, them labor costs can add up really fast to past what the machine is worth over say than just maybe replacing whole machine ! and one last question for you, to maybe help ID knock,, does the knock go away if you raise RPM's or does it stay the same?
