my stock b17 started knocking, i have not opened the motor up, but my mechanic said it could be the rod bearings. What all would i have to replace to get the motor running agian? thank you for any info.
It’s a 20yr old motor…rebuild everything… bearings, gaskets, piston rings, water pump, do a full rebuild on it that way you don’t spend the time and money to fix the rod knock and then a week later have your oil pump take a shit on you.
And, this is all assuming that the rod doesn’t destroy your crank or cylinder.
when is the noise most prevalant? hot? or cold?
thanks for the input man. hope the crank is still ok
i have not driven it since the knock started, i towed it and have not turned on since
