Hey all, I've done some searching about this engine knocking but I think my problem was a little different. For a few weeks there was a faint knocking sound, kinda eminating from the underside of the car...meaning I could hear it well from the driver seat. It got louder over time and seems to increase with acceleration. I checked the oil when the sound became unbearable. It was definelty low, but by this time I think it was too late. Car had to be towed. Firestone says my engine is gone. When I bought the car, it had a replaced engine in it.
So, I ask you guys...
What do you think happend?
Replace engine with 7MGTE or 1JZ?
Is the 1jz swap reliable and worthwhile?
Part out and sell?
I am at a fork in the road. I thought this question related more to the 7M even though I am interested in a 1JZ swap. I'm sorta upset about it so I'm just looking for some input. I've only had it for about 6 mos, not to technically familiar with supras.
Thanks for hearing/viewing my rant...
