Min repairs: Pull the motor pull the oil pan off and replace the rod bearings.

Max repairs total rebuild from top to bottom.

You COULD do a repair for $100 just not recommended..

well it sounds like rod bearings... I'd probably turn the crank before reusing it...

spend $100 and risk it throwing a rod or getting Rod knock again.

Or spend $3k do it right and do it once.

no I agree I wasn't disagreeing with him... I was just saying it's cheaper to do it yourself and that way your garaunteed... just follow toyota specs and you'll be fine... w/ the exception of a mhg and arps...

i wasnt saying you were disagreeing $3k to rebuild a motor with performance parts and have it hold up to anything you throw at it.

For $3k you can have an entire motor built. New rings new gaskets seals, bearings everything..

Lagged - I might be interested in your rebuilt short block if Sonex isn't interested. What are you asking? I'm considering rebuilding mine while the head's off, but I could change my mind if the price is right.
