One way is to take a piece of wood, end of a broom pole, place one end on the engine and the other at your ear, use your hand to cup the wood to your ear and listen, works really good.

A better way to pin point the noise is stop by sears and pick up an automotive stethoscope(sp) they work wonders. I use one for car motors all the time and I have been able to evem pin point to which rod is knocking on a car motor
