Connecting Rod Bearings?

i would just yank the engine out....

take this time as a rebuild time and get a beater car

or... rip it out.. drop the sump... get the crank measured... if all seems alrite to your reconditioner.... get bearings specified... wack in... bolt up sump... wack back in

or... rip it out

pull the head.. strip the lot... rebuild the lot... new mhg, arps, rings, bearings et etc

it's up to you..

but honestly to do the rods properly you need to take the block, crank & rods to a machine shop and get it all measured

you may just drop in new bearings... but it's an unknown to how long it will last... it may be fine... in a couple of months it may knock again

it's a risk

how loudly is it knocking?
