1980 300SD, Piston Pin knock
Kent: If the knock or taping noise is in fact a piston pin, what is likely to happen if I keep driving the car. I just returned from a 360 mile trip and the noise has not changed.

I would like to pull a small trailer behind my 1980 300SD. I need a vehicle to travel to and from art shows with my work.

From a stop light as engine speed reachs 2000 RPM a taping or knocking can be heard. The sound remains thru 2400 RPM at which time it either quits or I cannot here it for road noise.
