Engine making knocking noise

My engine almost got rebuilt and Its been fine for about a month. Now my car is knocking under the hood and its loud. I checked the oil, but it said it was full. I don't know what it is and I put 800 dollars into getting this car fix and I've only had it for 4 months. Its got 109 miles on it. So I'm wondering can it be repaired or am I gonna have to get a new motor, or junk it?

Re: Can anybody tell me what this means?

we are going to need a lot more info. like what was done for 800 bucks? and why was it done.
 
Re: Can anybody tell me what this means?

You almost got it rebuilt, or you just got it rebuilt? The loud knocking could be rod knock. I would say the rebuild was shoddy work.
 
Re: Can anybody tell me what this means?

Get a video, a list of what was replaced, and what was wrong in the first place.

Moved thread.

Please post in the correct section for your topic.

Also try to post a more descriptive title that lets others know what your post contains.
 
Re: Can anybody tell me what this means?

Sorry for putting it in the wrong post, but it doesn't matter now because I just found out its gonna need a whole new motor.
 


As stated above we need more details, It could be rod knock,broken/cracked flywheel,bearings on the water pump,alternator, or even tensioner.... If you're SC'd it could be the coupler and so on. Please be more descriptive. Also if you're saying almost rebuilt I'm assuming you had all the gaskets replaced minus the head gaskets because it would cost right around what you paid for to have that work done at a shop....

**** I didn't see this post. So it sounds like your motor spun the bearings from coolant getting mixed in with the oil..... I would take your car back to who ever did the work and make them buy you a new motor.

Maybe u should fully get the engine rebuilt!!! I believe that would suffice the engine knocking.. Just sayin
