i haven't a clue, i was told c-rods..?

 

that is a rod knock. 100%. To me though that almost sounds like a completely broken rod ready to shove itself through the block.

 

Swell, now should i go for a rebuild or just replace the whole engine?
I feel i could run across some nasty work with a rebuild, i'd just like a second opinion...

 

22r is a pretty straightforward and easy engine to rebuild

 

Sounds like that's what i'll go for then =D

thanks!

 

before you buy anything for the rebuild get that head off that engine. If it's a completely broke rod it could tear up the cyl walls to the point even boring them out wouldn't help and the block would be trash.

If you need a crank and/or rods japanengine.com has cheap ones. Some people on here including myself have had good luck with their stuff. I have had no issues so far with their crank and rods.

 

ok, i'll get some pictures up by tmrw and see what you guys think.

much appreciation on this end. thanks!

 

just a quick update, i've got the valve cover off and i'm starting to get down to business.

 

Through my superb laziness, i have decided to replace the whole motor =D

 

thats the way i would go man much easier and faster than a rebuild
