Found the Volvo's KNOCK! (Patreon)

Well we found the issue with the Volvo! Those who said it wasn't rod knock were correct. After removing all of the rods & all the main caps I found pretty much nothing wrong. One of the bearings in the main caps was slightly damaged from the metal that had found its way into the oil system, but no bearing was spun.The last thing we removed was the timing cover. Behind that laid the issue. The cam timing gear bolts had backed out and one of them had even broke. The broken bolt was rubbing against the timing cover, sending metal throughout the entire engine.This sucks because realistically, I didnt have to remove the motor or even disassemble it to fix this issue. All it really needed was a new timing set. But since I've already torn it all apart it now needs to be rebuilt. 😔 Theoretically It needed to be rebuilt anyway due to the damaged bearing and camshaft, but I think it would've been fine for awhile longer.But hey, at least we can build it for more boost 😉
