Maybe a rod bearing? I searched and it seemed like that might be the cause.

JUst my 2 cents but smoke from your oild aint good, i had a rod earing go bad i could start the car but when i drove it, it sounded like shit, if your car isnt starting , sorry to say maybe your engine froze up due to a lack of oil, or because of a lack of oil pressure

Well its starting, but it sounds like shit lol.knock knock knock lol thats all i hear

well if u want to build it for turbo i have bottom end kits that are 1100$ shipped if u just want a stock rebuild your looking with machine work like 950-1200$ depending on shops in your area

that is with YOU pulling the motor yourself...

if u need advice or assistance feel free to call email or IM me..

i just came across some keith black hypertectic piston for a decent price that would be a pretty good choice for you...(unles u were going turbo of course)

You can have it cheap, fast or good. Pick any two.

If you want it cheap and fast, it's not going to be good.

Hears a temp fix (actually its to tell if you spun a bearing or not). Change your oil to 4 quarts of 20W-50 grade and 1/2 a quart of Bardahl's "No-Smoke" additive (you can buy at WalMart for $2.50), with a new oil filter. The additive is thicker than honey. Drive it around for a day or two then check the oil. If its black, you spun a bearing, if not, you cracked a ring and/or blew a head gasket at the same time. The thick oil you'll be running will most likely stop the knocking sound and protect your engine better. So its a $9 fix!

Oh yeah it might just be simple as lack of oil pressure or oil like what rydereclipse said. Just try the $9 fix I told you about.

I definately spun a bearing! PUlled off the oil pan and now i need a whole new bottom end i belive. SHIT!

Untill you get the money to fix it just do the fix I told you about. It will last you a little while.

NO! NO! NO! absolutely do not drive it...it will just cause more damage...even the $9 fix isnt good enough, just dont mess with it till u have it fixed...perfect reason for you to go stock-comp pistons with high shot of giggle juice!!!

I got a crankshaft and bearings from this outfit names Standard Crankshaft Company. http://www.standardcrankshaft.com/index.html They sell crankshaft kits for our engine. The kit is a crankshaft and a set of matched bearings all ready to drop in. I got my kit for $150 after the core return. The dude wanted $200, but I gave him a bit of sticker shock and he lowered it to $148. The core charge was $30 or somewhere around there, and $15 shipping.

So since i have this spun bearing, does that mean i have to replace the pistons and stuff too?

No, just either do what Jim just said, or take your crank to a machine shop and have the crank ground. Then just put in oversize bearings. If you spun a rod bearing and not a main bearing, then your rod should still be fine as long as you haven't been driving it. If the rod is damaged, you can buy just one piston/rod (they come as a set), or you could have the damaged rod machined and use the proper oversize bearing.

The above suggestion with the thick oil and additive is not very intelligent. Definately don't do that.
