@BRZnut
"Rod knock" is a very broad term and could be the result of many different things, some simple fixes, some difficult and some can lead to catastrophic failure.
To just ask "who has rod knock" does not give you much data with any true value.
To get a better data set you may want to ask something along the line of "what was found to cause the knock?" in your opening post.
Otherwise you may end up with 1000 "I have a strange noise it must be knock" replies where they just assume the noise is knock. Let's face it, if you actually have knock and are still driving around without issues then it likely is not one of the serious causes or "knock" in the first place.
Every single person that states they have "knock" that actually don't will skew your results so badly they will be meaningless.
