cause the coolant might have mixed in with the oil. Rebuild it and your worries are gone ;)

Supra curse man, Well if its a slight knock like you say (as if it just started) There is a SMALL possibility you can just replae the rod bearigns but i woudl get the crank machines to run 10 mm OS bearings all over.

Ummm...how will replacing a head gasket, fix rod knock? You need to worry about them both while the engine is apart...why have a car with a good head gasket, but with rod knock?? And then have to tear it apart again?:confused:

just get them to look at it while its apart, but dont fret over it, its not a big deal if your engine is already apart, that takes away half the cost right there of repairing the knock.

jesus. the reason you have a BHG is because the previous owner saw first signs of BHG then sold it to you. dont be stupid.

don't do a swap unless you are 100% ready for one and know every last detail about the engine and hooking it up. Fix your current engine, the least you can do is sell it in a running state.
