Default someone chime in please

So Today was the day that i was going to sell my green machine (in signature). Well the money from the car was gunna help, buy winter tires for the SRT4, and the rest was going to the first months rent (im moving out).

When it rains it pours. There is a rod knocking.... perty bad.

How long can you drive on a knocking rod?
Because i work fast food and i hear cars knocking alllllll day long through the drive thru.


How much could i sell it for?

i was going to go with 800 before the rod knock.

If you don't want to risk f u cking your block up and crank then I wouldn't drive it at all or run it. Rod knock is usually one of theworst case senarios for a blown engine and I wouldn't even start it.

Lots of things can make a knock sound and it doesn't mean a engine is blown I'd take it to somebody who knows more about engines than you do and get their opinion on whatit sounds like.

If it sounds like a hammer hitting steel through a reverberator then you probably have rod knock and I wouldn't drive it.
