Anyway you look at a noise it doesn&#8217;t look good.<\/p>\n<h3>Knock Noise<\/h3>\n<p>Lets figure out if the knock noise is internal or external from the engine. The easiest way to achieve this would be to remove the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freeautomechanic.com\/serpentine-belt-routing-diagrams.html\">serpentine belt<\/a> and start the engine. Only allow the engine to run long enough to determine if the knock no longer remains. If the noise is gone, you know the knock is external. You can check the external noise by spinning the pulleys before installing the serpentine belt.<\/p>\n<h4>Internal engine knock noise<\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-55174\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freeautomechanic.com\/mechanic\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/2000-chevy-blazer-crankshaft-bearings.gif\" alt=\"2000-chevy-blazer-crankshaft-bearings\" width=\"320\" height=\"296\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Knocking noise is present at engine idle.
