Yea so... I hear a bunch of rumors in ways to deafen the sound of a bearing knock. See, Im picking up this 4x4 Ford Lariat with a 5speed for real cheap, $650 to be precise (Yea yea its a Ford, but it'll get me to work during the big snowstorms if I have to plow) . It has a 302 and its got a bearing knock. I've heard Mystery Oil will do the trick. I also heard if I use thicker oil, it'll deaden the sound to almost nothing. I just dont want to have to hear one of the many things that is/will be wrong with the truck when I get it. Any suggestions?
