Any idea's on cost to replace a rod? I threw it on Saturday night just after finishing up on the "donut" for my exhaust. I was excited, so I took the car out for a "spin" (actually my buddy was driving). next thing you know the car is a knockin like crazy. So we shut her down at home and everything was still in tact, the engine knocks at about 4000 RPM but not at idle!? Any ideas to what this could actually be if it is not a rod? I would appreciate any feedback, or at least point me in the right direction. How was everyone's weekend? Hope to talk to you.

Sorry to hear that man. You're in bad shape if it's a rod knock. You really need to do a rebuild or new engine at this point. You "might" try changing out the rod bearing in the car and it could give you a little bit of time, but it's no real fix for sure. Personally I'd suggest a 3L upgrade at this time. Try contacting the guys at www.Arizonadynochip.com Shawn or Keith can get you some pricing. Rick

Hey, thanks for feeling my pain. Though things could be worse I'm sure. Thanks for the information too, I do appreciate it. I don't even know where to begin with everything, I'm not completely mechanically savvy (learning as I go) so we will see, I'm sure the process could take some time. Hopefully I will post with some better news here soon. Thanks Again, Sean

Sorry to hear about this, I would guess it would be a bad bearing.
