knocking
Explanation:
You frequently hear of people talking about the motor knocking, which I suppose would leave physical evidence. Simon and Shcuster Intl dictionary lists "golpeteo" as second possibility for "knocking."
The only other thing that occurs to me would be dents, or denting.

The motor knocks when you hear that clunk, clunk, clunk, from using bad gasoline.
