Check your blood pressure .......... oops Oil Pressure at various RPMs
and Temperature ranges before you jump, run naked into the fires of
rebuilds.
That knock could be loose torque converter, loose flex plate, broken flex
plate.
That 35$ Oil pressure gauge is something you're going to want if you get
a new engine so it isn't money burned by buying it now.
