You got a lot going on it sounds like. SO,, why not just do the minimum to your engine for now? Like if the crank and rod aren't damaged maybe you can just put in some bearings on the bottom end and let it go? Won't have to pull the heads, pistons, etc that way. Later do the whole thing, heads, cam all that.
Guess it depends on how bad a rod knock your talking about. |

ps: what s rod knock anyway" the con rod slapping against the crank??? cb |
