So like, long story short. My ek (under legal height) flew up onto a gravel/clay/dirt hill at 50kph that was on a 40 degree angle.

Sump is bashed in, no leaks, drives fine. Chassis or something was bottoming out the whole way (sparks apparently). Idles fine, whatever.

Oh and I took out a small tree stump going up the hill.

Today I turned on the ac. I hear this tapping sound. But its only when the ac is on. Motor shakes a fair bit more too. The tapping is in sync with the vibration of the engine.

Did I bust an engine mount or something? I honestly have no clue as to whats going on. Inb4 engine falls out.

Oh and it drives fine (drove like it did before the accident with ac on and off)

check the condenser fan as there may be something that could be causing it to tap as fan rotates?

Fan spins freely without hitting anything
