Oh no! Rod Knock?

[CalvinClick]

If you had to guess, would you say this is engine knock? Any advice is welcome, thank you.

Hard to nail down from a video but I think you can reasonably rule out rod knock, that sounds very different.

Rod knock is usually a deeper sound. That sounds like one of the pulleys on the accessory drive

Not lower end, top end use a stethoscope to find where it's coming from

Did you ever figure out what the noise was?

I have not had the time, but will be replacing Part BU5Z 9F972 B and will update thread this weekend.

The low side fuel pressure sender? Out of curiosity, what led you to that conclusion?

I am doing this before anything else, since its been purposed as a way to prevent eco boom.. Last thing I want to do is make the problem worse, but I am only hopeful that this new sensor will help. I am also going to remove my exhaust & intake to see if it could be a moving particle stuck inside. The pipes including the cat have been damaged due to bottoming out. If that doesn’t show any signs, I will move on to the turbo. The video fails to show that there is low end noise just as much as the top end. I would like to take a look at my timing chain, but I need to find it first lol. Just a broke new dad trying to keep his pony alive, so to replace the engine would take about 5 years of savings.. By then, I would hope electric swaps become an affordable thing, since I now deliver after losing my job (have a cargo trailer with big cooler and backseat delete) Easy to remove aftermarket seats as well.. I miss her just talking about it =(

Oh, and per the advice in this thread; I will be using my scope to look into the top end.. however, being inexperienced at internals, I probably will have to post those pictures to have more expertise help. Thankfully the scope has that function and look forward to getting those back to y’all. Thank god for the mustang community that is here.. everybody’s input has been encouraging through this hard time.

Sounds like your engine identifies as a diesel now lol. But I agree with the above.
