Been a while since I have been back on the forums, as the car has been fine for quite a while!
Sadly i developed a knock after taking a freeway connector very aggressive without the proper amount of oil in the car. I'm fairly certain it is a spun rod due the the circumstances. Where does one go from here?
I kind of just figured I am going to have to source a new motor. However, there are a few instances on the forums where people just replace the rod bearing and go on their way. How do I know if I can get away with just replacing a bearing? What else can get damaged?
The car has been driven maybe 10 miles since the knocking first happened. As of right now you don't hear it at idle, only once you get past 2000 RPM. Depending on the load and RPM while driving, you can't hear it at all.
If anyone has any reputable shops in the Socal/Orange County area please let me know! I have made an effort to do all of the work on this car myself, but sometimes it's better to have a professional take a look.
