Inherited the car two years ago and have spent about five thousand on it since. Now, it is making a knocking noise after driving a bit - loudly. They 'think' it is about to sling a rod. Can it be diagnosed for sure and if it is about to sling a rod, is a new engine necessary? What should it cost?

MasterProbably your best bet is to have a wrecking yard locate a slightly used engine, Because rebuilding yours could be 3 to 4 thousand depending how bad the internal engine components have been damaged by the rod knocking
