Message	was, which no one directly answered, would Rislone help a bearing noise, because it sure is helping my noise? I don't see how an oil cleaner could help with a bad bearing. Trying to describe a noise is like trying to describe a sunset. The real experience is worth a thousand words. I agree with everyone who heard my knock and said it sounded "bad" or "deep." But my car runs so good, and I wondered how Rislone could help a bad bearing? My plan is to hunt down turbowrench (Larry) at his new shop and get his opinion. Then I'll know whether to attack this problem from above or below the engine. Since my compression is so good, if it is a bad bearing, I would prob opt for just pulling the oilpan. As of today, my car has never run better, with a fresh batch of Mobil 1 synthetic 10W-50 and a bottle of Rislone on board :c)
