S SpeedPro5 Member : 02 mazda protege 5 May 28, 2009 #2 Well it could be a rod knock or you could be using cheap fuel.. could also be valve tap
W widgit117 Member : 2002 Mazda Protege5 May 29, 2009 #3 Its the hamsters in our engines and apparently one of yours died. lol no seriously, we need a little more information then a knocking sound. It could be something loose.

M MazdaSpeeder Member : Protege5 (5-spd) May 30, 2009 #4 Spun bearing or rod knock most likely. Sorry...is the oil level full?
B ballyhoo1 Member Jun 1, 2009 #5 Yes it is a rod bearing Mazda Service said it sounds like a connecting rod bearing. Is it worth to fix or replace whole engine. They said whole engine!

M MazdaSpeeder Member : Protege5 (5-spd) Jun 1, 2009 #6 Yeah, whole engine...you can get a used one for $900 from Pgarage with a warranty, a lot less from a junkyard but it's more iffy. Good luck!
