Psyco Diver 69 I need rep points!
Default Now I got rod knock

Hold your "I told you so" for later with the starter fixed I can now hear a slight knock (only I can barely hear but I also know the sound of my motor) so I took her out for a drive and about 2 miles down the road the oil pressure slowly drops to about 20 psi at 3000 rpms and so I turn around to head home. At idle the pressure hovers at about 10 psi. With the motor how driven around and hot I checked the oil and theres a little bit of metal shavings. I guess I never heard it before because of the rattling starter and because I haven't driven her around. So I'm going to pull the engine maybe this weekend or next and take a look. I wonder if I can get away with new bearings, I'll have to check the journals. The knock isn't loud though but it can be heard when the engine and oil is hot.
