Well I took my car for a trip, and probably the last. My engine starting knocking really bad. Before it was a tap, now it is definitely a hard knock. It sounds really bad. It is coming from around the valve cover but then again it is sort of from the middle of the engine, hard to tell. I just need some thought on what it might be not exact. So I can kind of get an estimate of how much this is going to cost to fix. Hopefully I don't need a new engine, it would be nice, but I don't have the money right now.
thanks in advance |

Well turns out the problem is still the rod bearing. Since running it with the smashed bearing, I think it ate down on the crankshaft and it still leaves a gap to knock. Does anybody know where I can get it grinded down?

Ask for a reputable machine shop in your area that can turn the crank and allow for a larger bearing to be used. Most circle track or drag strip enthusists know who does the best work.
