Lower End Knocking Noises On GM 4.1L (252 CID) HT-4100 Engines
Some Cadillac automobiles equipped with 4.1L (252 CID) HT-4100 engines may experience lower end knocking noises.
According to Cadillac, such a noise may be caused by interference between the cylinder block or piston and the first crankshaft counterweight (see illustration). Apparently later style crankshafts were produced with fully machined counterweights to eliminate interference conditions.
Transverse engines use crankshaft Part #1629092 while longitudinal engines use crankshaft Part #1629093.
