How many, have nursed a knocking Rod home?

Had a customer with a /6 dart. Motor was seized. we took a breaker bar and big pipe to free up motor. Put fresh oil in it and it fired right up. Made some noise but then quieted down. He drove the Dart for another year.

My first car 70 Charger 383 started to make some slight noises going home one night. Babied it the 5 miles home. Came out the next morning, started it up and it was knocking really loud. Would run for a couple of minutes then lock up. Let it cool down and it would do the same thing. Poor Charger.
