Yeah, I figured if I saw any damage I'd have to pull the crank. If that's the case I'll talk to the machinist, and order rod/main bearings with the specs he suggests. As soon as I heard rod knock the car was shut down, and I'm hoping it'll be ok... we'll see once it's apart. The car had been sitting for a month or previous, and the rod knock appeared first time I got on the throttle at about 3.5k which I hoped would minimize damage. I don't have the money for a new OEM pump, but I do have an oil pressure gauge to keep an eye on.
