The 85 Camry Strikes Again

Thank you for all the help I have received so far, all problems aside from the windshield wiper fluid pump have been fixed and everything works great ... except ... There is a very loud knocking coming from my engine. It was not there a few days ago and has since come up. If gets louder and more frequent when i accelerate and therefore i deduct it is directly related to my block ... since the noice is coming from that area, that helps to figure that too ...

On this one, i have not the first clue where to start or where to look. My buddy suggested checking the oil level, color, and concentration. I will do this first thing, but is there anything else that i can check to diagnose / fix this problem? Thank you all again.

oil pressure and timing come to mind.

Are you sure all your spark plug wires are connected, and all your plugs are firing?

If so, sounds like a bad rod bearing. Engine rebuild time. Take it to a Toyota specialist and ask them to listen to it, any mechanic that is at all experienced has heard rod knocks before and can tell you immediately if that's what it is.
