Hi this is my first post and was hoping anyone had some suggestions. I hav a 97' with a 3.1 and 271,000 mi. the other day I started hearing a loud knock or maybe mor of a tap after a couple of days it got louder. No power loss, no temp change, really nothing other than the noise. Can anyone offer any suggestions any help would b great

Greetings!
If you are hearing a knock or tapping sound that is getting louder my suggestion would be to stop driving the car until you can have someone investigate why it is knocking/tapping.

the passageways may be clogged causing some areas to not have any oil. have you tried flushing the engine?
It may help it, but also it can cause a leak with that many miles..

im just hoping that its not a piston or rod requiring engine removel.it's just a very loud tapping somthing I was hoping to fix with just the valve covers off. What surprises me though is no other indication that anything is wrong except that tap
