i personally dont think its anything as serious as a rod knock or bearing. the engine vidrates more at idle then running, as ur engine gets older its vibrates more at idle then when it was new. if anything has become loose in ur engine bay it with create a knock.

also; sometimes changing the tranny fluid helps.

Thanks for the reply man. I really hope it's nothing serious I can't afford a new engine, lol.

Does anyone know about the main bearing question though? I havent been able to find the answers about main bearings in my original post and that was why I posted here wondering if anyone knew about them
