If it is rod knock you'd likely be better off just dropping a junkyard engine in it.

That's the thing I'm not completely sure I don't have a garage or enough room in the driveway to pull it myself or I would so I could look for myself. The mechanic said I need a new rod and crank and I know that's going to be expensive. If I could look and see what exactly is going on I'd be more comfortable buying the parts myself and taking the car up to the shop. Thanks for the advice, I'll check my oil pump, my oil levels are good. And I'll get a video up on here tomorrow hopefully.
