Need Some Expert Advice

[TYTILIDIE]

I let my machine shop listen to my engine knock. He was pretty certain it was main bearings. So today I get under there to pull the motor and when I went to pull the trans to motor bolts, I realized that only the two driverside lower bolts were in. So only 2 bolts holding the motor and trans together. I also have a totally broken motor mount. Could all this have made a knock that bad? It did seem to get a little worse when warmed up. Thats the only real reason why I suppose its the mains. Also, while the motors running, if you watch the balalncer, it looks like wobbles ever so slightly. Would you guys keep goping and pull the motor? Or would you put it all back together and see what happens?

Not an expert, but loose trans to engine bolts can cause a knocking sound...I would put it all back together, address the balancer and see what it does...You shouldn't have to do the motor mounts to rule out the audible knock....the fact that it knocks louder when warm is something to be concerned about...
