Yeah the chassis has roughly 153xxx, and the swapped 55xxx, but whos knows what condition this swap was in when put in, but yeah i just stopped driving it to prevent any further damage. So yeah ill get some codes pulled and also see from there.
You guys have any estimate on how much a standard rebuild would be at a shop for a 7m-gte?

could be as something as a lifter needing adjusting. But you still gotta take the top off to do it. So if your going in that deep might as well start restoring. most shops are 60 bucks an hour or more. + parts.. Taking the head off is what 6 hours minimum. start / finish.. so idk 400 / 600? just a high estimate.

i would "assume" a ting or tick from the head. a knock, i would "assume" spun or destroyed bearing, ill guess rod bearing, on my 5m when i roasted a main bearing it made no knocking, in-fact i drove it around for a while and had no idea...
but its just an assumption...
and codes should be check "EAR"-regardless
