Rebuilt Engine bearing wear

Braeden Clark said
Well I have them if you want them. Or I might want them. I have a solid rod knock now. Strange thing is this is EXACTLY what it did when I started my engine for the first time. Same place even. Narrowed it down with a stethoscope. Same exact place. Same exact noise. Last time it went away the next day. This pisses me off. Hopefully it goes away like it did last time. Will update you guys. Machine shop did tell me I may as well replace the bearings while I have the pan off. Now I regret it.

Sorry, but a rod knock doesn't just go away. I hate to suggest this but if you have a rod knock, I think that it would be a good idea to tear it down and have the rods resized and have the crankshaft re checked and possibly turned 0.010 / 0.10. Cutting corners, doing it cheaper always cost more money later on. That's something that my dad told me years ago.
