After work intended to address a metallic knock under engine load, repeat the original conditions in a safe place and check whether the symptom returns. Record whether it follows engine speed, road speed, or throttle input; do not create extra load to test it. Record the result before clearing codes or resetting adaptations.
Follow the maker’s procedure for drive cycles and readiness monitors. Check oil level only as the owner’s manual directs and note any oil-pressure warning. If the issue remains, return to the evidence instead of swapping another part.
Quick educational note
