    How much to fix rod knock if its a DIY job?

    got it bc I was on a budget and a friend helped me out. I will get this done, without spending an arm and a leg. I already found all the bearing replacements, gonna have the head fixed up nice, and a new HG that was free. This should be not SO painful.

The friend I bought this car from still has...

    Cracks in the block? It ran 3 mins with a small knocking, ticking sound. If its just a loose bearing how bad could it have been? The pistons lift up and down in unison, the only difference right now is that 3 sits a hair longer before moving after 4, and on the way up, clinks a little bit. Ive...
