Some of you may remember that my supercharger failed, replaced it with another SC but now I have a nasty knocking noise from the engine.

I am we'll out my depth now with what to do and how to diagnose the problem.

Possible causes:

Flywheel?
Clutch?
Bottom end?

Cheers
Nick

Hi Nick,
I can definately hear something knocking. Does your engine not start?
It might be easier to diagnose if it was running, say on tickover
