Sold the car good riddance, thanks to everyone who helped me on this forum.

To be honest I don't even want to drive it, at over 2k+ RPM the knocking gets to loud, but barely noticeable at idle.

That's not looking good....

These engines are known to take a beating...will be interesting to see how much time you get out of it.

Good news is with heavier oil(20w50) the hot idle(200+temp) is now steady at 30PSI instead of 10-15PSI. But it does not matter for my engine its to late. For people ...

Guy who sold it to me is willing to put up $500 on another used car. I guess that is some good news.

Also I change oil today and look at the metal shaving build up on oil plug. I am surprise this engine still runs.

lol that is interesting story.

Anyways I went out and bought Quaker 20W50 oil and Bosch Oil filter. I was thinking of buying a quart of Lucas heavy oil additive but for $13 I said no ty.

I will change it tomorrow myself and hopefully it will keep oil pressure slightly high enough so it does not ...

I don't think the oil filter is a fram. When I looked under the color of filter was white and letteronblue.

Interesting part is I did a cold start just now and knock is gone. Even when revving knock is not present. Oil pressure around 50psi at cold.

So I guess once the engine gets hotter oil gets thinner and that is when I would hear knock again.

So I am thinking of replacing oil with much heavier oil ...

I just want to get rid of this thing. This is bad luck that I never want to see again.

I really want more...but engine is basically dead what more can I ask for lol. I told the person Ill think about it.

Someone already offered $800 cash, and I did mention engine knock on posting craig. Should I just take it?

Thanks bro.

I am not mechanically inclined to do a engine rebuild/swap. I don't have the kind of cash to spend thousands of dollars on new engine and labor for a car I spent $1350 for.

*dang*...

Wonder how much I can get off this while it still runs. Anyone have ideas?

Everything else working perfectly, Interior in very good condition. Exterior paint is good condition. All Electronics works perfect.

How long did you drive it for before it threw the rod out lol
About 4 miles, noise got louder, then a small explosion, car filled with smoke, check engine light was blinking....lol the traffic behind me squatting in the front from them hitting their brakes from where aluminum was scattering the ...

Ok here is video

-Around 00:15 you can really hear the ticking sound.

-Around 00:56 you can hear the knock when pressing on gas

Sound and picture is off sync.

I will be posting video of engine noise. In next few minutes, and oil level is normal at full. Sorry I thought it was over full line.

The car is toast. Drove it today and when I accelerate I can hear a engine tick louder and louder. When I idle the tick is still present but not as loud. The Oil psi drops alot faster also from cold to warm than it did yesterday.(Oil Gauge shakes alot now too)

Opened up hood and I can tell it is ...

Okay I was able to open the radiator cap, its very full, as soon as I opened it some poured out.
