Rod Knock????
1995 Explorer 2-door Sport - On my way home from work today, I noticed my oil guage fluctuating from the middle of the guage to no pressure. I immediately pulled over and checked my oil. It looked OK at the stick, maybe a quart low. When I started it back up, I noticed a fast whinning noise, almost like an alt bearing which would increase with the rpm of the motor. You can not even hear this sound while driving normal spped, only when stopped and you slowly rev the motor. Since my oil level looked OK, I contiued to drive home about 6-7 miles further. When I got home, I started the motor and crawled under the truck. Using a long screwdriver, I isolated the sound coming from the oil pan. Oh No !!!!! I have heard rod knocking before and this does not sound like that metalic knock sound. Sounds as if the pan is hitting the flywheel kinda thing. I don't recall running over anything which would cause a dent in the pan. I also could not see any dents, course it was getting dark.
Can anyone tell me what this could be? Also, if it is a rod, can the pan be taken off or dropped enough to replace a bearing?
