ok so the other day i started hearing this knocking sound, the only thing i can figure it is is a rod. Im about to take it to my mechanic and see if im correct or not and if i am then idk what im going to do. What do y'all suggest? Something pretty reasonable in price guys be realistic!

try seafoaming it first because it could be a simple carbon knock.

Seafoam for knocking

Just go for a basic rebuild. Doesn't cost too much.

I think i may be in the same boat as you my friend . This ticking nois from the front end of my car has just gotten worse and worse. At first my mechanic said it was just the headers rockin back and forth...but its gotten louder then my exhaust almost.

Im REALLY hopping its not what i think it is...cuz if it is...sumones getting an earfull.

i just found a 95 mark 8 motor for $200 if i pull it, what would it take for it to work with my car?

that price seems kinda low. Is it complete, or is it just a long block? Whats the mileage on it? Have you had it checked out?
Sorry, I'm not tryin to pull you off base.
