Sorry. Sucks.  |
Early rod knock? Is there even such a thing? If a rod is spun wouldn't the knock be always present?
I'm finding it really hard to believe it's rod knock as the car has had the recall done 20.000 miles ago and has had zero issues. If not a blocked oil passage what else could cause rod knock?
Also the car has had a new short block replacement at around 40k miles, now the odo reading 70k miles.
