You hear it at cold start and think, “I really need to tear this thing down and replace the bearing(s)” ... “Nah, not in the mood for such a big job, I will do it in the winter” next think you know it totally spins a bearing and now you are potentially replacing a rod or crank. I did price out the rods and crank and they are reasonably priced. So that’s exciting.

Wow that is quite the conclusion to come up with based on the minuscule info provided.
Cold engine can knock it does not automatically lead to blowing them up.
