Just bought my Cheokee xj a week ago. I noticed something weird . When I open the hood, the jeep running, it runs great, no nocking , no ticks, oil pressure is at 40 warm, doesn't smoke, but when I walk to the driver side of the Jeep, I hear like a knocking ? So I go back to the engine bay, and nothing, go back to the driver side, buy the front tire, and I hear this knocking !!!!!!!!!!! Is this my motor !? I hope not, I just spent all my money on this jeep, and cant afford a rebuild.

At idle, rez the engine to 2500 and hold and see if it misfires. Chances are you may need to steam clean your engine or so ething is just lose

We used it as a test vehicle for today's class. We tested the compression of each cylinder, we also did a cylinder leak test. So I don't know if we screwed anything up or it was acting like that before.
