I was pulling out of a parking lot when it just stalled at the light (yes I let it warm up before leaving), and I started it up again but on the way home I started hearing the rod knock around 2.5-3k rpm. The past few months I've been commuting 2 hours every week and there have been times where I'm going 90-100 for extended periods, but apart from that oil changes and everything are pretty regular. The incident where it stalled nothing out of the ordinary happened that day, I wasn't driving hard earlier that day and when I was leaving the parking lot it was a cool night maybe 50 - 60F. The two mechanics I've talked to both have said it's the crankshaft bearing and that I am going to have to replace the short block or the entire engine depending on the damage.
