Started up the Jeep and everything sounded normal, backed on to the road, put it in drive and as I stepped on the gas something inside the engine went BANG!

Now there's a constant banging sound like someone inside the engine hitting it with a hammer!

Hope this isn't how 2011 is going to be. :furious:

It has around 108k on it, and nothing big has ever gone wrong it though, so I guess I'm doing okay, but man, this sucks!

My brother in law has a garage, says he gets a lot of issues in with both the 3.7 and 4.7L due to the head design.....steel valve seat in aluminum head, sometimes the seat will pop out of the head....just a thought.
