It was running fine for a long time and one day set out to go to work and i hear this rod knocking. i'm like sh*t, my engine is done!
then i read more about the issues and talking to some knowledgeable people, they said it may be just the timing guides or tensioner guides.
its still a pain in the ass and going to cost money!
