I have been thinking rod knock also, or maybe a lifter problem. Either way I figure the engine needs to come out to make these repairs.
I would assume that the best way to accomplish this is to drop the engine cradle? I have already taken most of the upper stuff off. I am familiar with this type of removal,but does anyone know of anything to look out for or any tricks.
Thanks again in advance,
Marty

I lean toward keeping the 2.5L, if parts are available to repair.
