Subject:Repair of rods knocking?
From:Geosh Fathauer
Date:Sat, 11 Apr 1998 12:07:16 -0400

Greetings-

Sort of by default, this is my response to the survey on heads. My
'85 has an engine that I have put 40k on. It lost the water pump a month
and a half ago, and after replacement had a coolant leak- out of the
bolt on the driver's side front. Yesterday night I started it up to
drive home, and there was a knocking coming from the engine on that
side. I suspect a rod- what is the feasiblity that a rod and associated
parts would be the only repair? I suspect it is a high probability that the
head would also need replacing.

sigh. Time for musical cars again.
