KA24de Knock

Post a video of it.
What causes rod knock? Bad rod bearing. Usually a result of something going wrong with the lubrication system. Low oil, bad oil pump, clearances too tight or too loose. Or it might have just been seriously ragged on. It's one of those things that common sense will usually prevent.
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.
